From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  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.
