I see too many things out there that define fascism by reverse engineering nazi Germany. They incorporate things like anti-semitism that are not required for fascism. Mussolini was not a holocaust enthusiast and considered it a waste of time and an odd quirk of Hitler.
Basically, it boils down to a fusion of government power and corporate power. What is forbidden to one is done by the other. Corporations do what government wants. Government protects corporations from competition and gives lucrative contracts.
A classic example is US censorship and domestic spying and surveillance. Legally forbidden to government, but big tech “private companies do it FOR government and share the data and planning. In return, Government protects big tech from competition and litigation.
Mussolini would feel right at home in DC.
I have said it so often that it is sickening to me at this point. I think now most see it pretty clearly in the rule of the Biden Administration and the Deep State. The form of government in the United States today is fascism. Right down to the control of elections.
