from Jargon File (4.4.4, 14 Aug 2003)
fascist
 adj.

   1. [common] Said of a computer system with excessive or annoying
   security barriers, usage limits, or access policies. The implication
   is that said policies are preventing hackers from getting interesting
   work done. The variant fascistic seems to have been preferred at MIT,
   poss. by analogy with touristic (see {tourist} or under the influence
   of German/Yiddish faschistisch).

   2. In the design of languages and other software tools, the fascist
   alternative is the most restrictive and structured way of capturing a
   particular function; the implication is that this may be desirable in
   order to simplify the implementation or provide tighter error
   checking. Compare {bondage-and-discipline language}, although that
   term is global rather than local.
