Even if true...

I'm fighting the urge to use acronyms to express my amusement. "Even if true" implies that there is a shadow of a doubt. Unless you're posting from Mongolia, and only recently learned English, you've heard the word "fascist" used in a sentence not referring to any Italians.

The rest of your post is 99.9% pure ad hominem, which of course demonstrates better than I could that you've fully expended your intellectual arsenal.

Nope, it just recognizes the school of thought that asserts that the term "fascism" properly refers only to the system of government implemented by Mussolini, and is improper even when used in reference to such closely related movements as that in Hitler's Germany, let alone when referring to such bizarre examples as 19th Century Britain, feudalism and the FDA.
