This is, indeed, the very definition of fascism. No, indeed, it is not. Those are fascist tactics, but that is not fascism.

Adorno and Horkheimer did not pull their punches, although they withheld publication until the danger was past. Those intellectuals who try to reason, eggheads, are overrun.

Fascism is a politico-economic doctrine, the defining earmarks of which include a pretense at recognizing private property rights, but in actuality seizing the rights of use and disposal of property by government operatives, leaving only the "responsibility" and "liability" of the property in the hands of the purported "owners."
