Bonapartism, Fascism & our new order "Vikash Yadav" <vikash1 at ssc.upenn.edu> Subject: RE:

I think Greg's definition is right on target. A few other examples on Bonapartism beyond Napoleon I & III are:

- - Charles De Gaulle during the retreat from Algeria, 1962. - - Indira Gandhi during the "Emergency" period: 1975-1977.

I believe that Bonapartism is also known as Caesar-ism after Gaius Julius Caesar.

CB: I.e. it is a dictatorship taking over from a form that is republican relative to it.
