Fascism in Austria would make a more normal heading. The point of the neologism Austrofascism is to isolate the phenomenon of Austrian fascism to the period 1934 - 1938. --Wetman 07:00, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • No. Austrofascism is not a neologism. It is the normal term normally used for the regime in Austria 1934-1938 as it is taught in schools. See e.g. [1] (AEIOU Encyclopedia of Austria, maintained by the Austrian ministry of education and compiled by historians). Fascism in Austria would be unprecise and too broad, as it would also have to include Nazi activity in Austria which is an entirely different animal. Martg76 10:30, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Today a more detailed article on Austrofacism has been published in the german Wikipedia. It would be great if someone want's to translate it. Right now there is much outdated information in the english article. --84.138.76.74 20:24, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Typography

Should the German eszett letter be used in English rendering of the name? Perhaps "Dollfuss (German spelling Dollfuß)"?
