Fascism is best approached from the perspective of Max Weber's sociology of parties, which classifies parties according to three dimensions: by the objectives for whose attainment they strive for political power, by the organization they adopt for this purpose, and by the means they prefer to employ. Although the fascist party does not relinquish legal means, it does distinguish itself from most other parties by the extent to which it resorts to violence. Although it organizes its staff and members by means of bureaucratic methods, the latter are nevertheless subordinated to charismatic leadership. And although it addresses the interests of various classes and opens itself up for different worldviews, the fascist party does not commit itself to any one of them, instead integrating the forces flowing into it only through relatively abstract shared convictions and via the interest in patronage
