This moral viewpoint should not be called "fascist" since fascism is actually a manifestation of it. What I'm describing goes back much further in history to two primary concepts that have been believed across many cultures and times:
1) Divine command theory
2) The great chain of being
The second idea flows from the first.
Divine command theory is the idea that all morality is determined by God alone. Anything God says is moral. Anything opposed to it is immoral.
