Carlyle:

Scottish Calvinist
believed in the necessity of Heroes and hero worship
blamed the Jewish people for social problems without providing any real evidence
conducted experiments to prove Jewish inferiority and drew conclusions from assumed ideas
used hatred and bias to unite
believed that lesser people needed guidance from their superiors to stay human, if not they would degenerate to animals

What Woolfe says about Fascism:

relies on charismatic, emotional, passionate leader
requires that people give up on rational thought and blindly accept the word of the state
depends on people's primal urges
