Time to post again the 14 defining characteristics of fascism.

[brutus cassius]

74. I wouldn't argue with 90% of this.

I think it's worth keeping in mind that "fascism" is just one particular ideological branch of the core philosophy of collectivism; fascism & communism aren't polar opposites on any meaningful spectrum; it's just "right-wing" collectivism as compared to "left-wing" collectivism," & each are much further removed from individualism (individual rights, rule of law, equal justice) than they are from each other.
I'd also keep in mind that the particular face & attitude of fascism can change from it's hold on one society to another; & that change may be marked by more than just cultural distinctions. For one example, that (10) "Labor Power is Suppressed" is not a necessary pre-condition. Indeed, these days labor unions are among the top agitators for (& of course, beneficiaries of) arbitrary state power & interventionism. In the end it doesn't really matter which particular interest groups are the primary supporters & beneficiaries of the fascist state; it could even be the case that outwardly antagonistic & competing interest groups vie for influence & control over state power. What matters is that state power is used in contravention of individual rights, rationalized by a supposed primacy of collective prerogatives or an alleged "social welfare." All that really distinguishes fascism are certain tendencies like nationalism, belligerent militarism, & sometimes an attempt is made to retain a superficial air of de jure private property rights & self-determination in economic affairs, when in fact it's almost always agents & operatives of the bureaucratic state who exercise de facto ownership & control.
