You may not realize it, but when you split hairs you draw imaginary distinctions in what amounts to a hierarchy of worship to power that results in the violent enforcement of a culture from the top.
EVERY SINGLE HIERARCHY THAT USES VIOLENCE TO MAINTAIN ITSELF IS INHERENTLY FASCISTIC AND GENOCIDAL
That is so dumb.
Fascism is a specific ideology, it has overlaps with other violent and repressive ideologies but that doesn't make all authoritarian regimes fascists.
Why are you trying to be so reductionist? Why can't we have different words to describe different things? There's a reason we don't call every dictatorship fascist, and part of it is that it's not useful to label everything with the same word.
The authority to murder in the name of the state is the core of all fascist ideologies. I'm not being reductionist, the various authorities that arise obfuscate their similarities with propaganda.
