Wes, the internet is full of memes like this one defining fascism:
Problem is, regimes like Somoza's in Nicaragua check all these boxes without being fascist.
The specific features common to European and Asian fascisms, at least three of which I mentioned in a post above, are not present here.
Trump checks a lot of those boxes; so does Putin, though he also has not reached the definitional threshold of fascism, as far as I'm concerned.
Still someone who checks 4 or 5, or 7 or 8 of those boxes, should not be getting a pass when we vote in leaders.
