12ish or so, when we learned about Mussolini. It wasn't that substantive, though, since it took quite a lot longer to learn to differentiate between fascism and Nazism.

    Mussolini is who first got described to me as fascist as well. 10 years old, 5th grade. Also similarly, it really took my own effort to separate multiple, shall I say, un-American government descriptors because they were all pumped together as evil. Fascism, dictatorship, communism, and a bit of socialism due to the Nazi's true party name.

    Surprisingly, nationalism just never fell into the mix in school. That's just patriotism for other countries, right? Right?
