I like to call PiS Fascist lite, since they have no imperial ambitions. And you are right, catholicism and fascism aren't linked--but that was just an aside to my description. What matters is that they are nationalistic (which is good) and socialists (not good). The market economy of Poland is very nice, but there are unnecessary amounts of regulation as a funciton of the socialist side of the governance.

I've read the fascist manifesto, I understand that the original creed is the primacy of the state, but alas things have evolved a little and it now possible for parties to form in the grey spaces between pure expressions of one or the other political philosophy.
