    Fascism as defined by Merriam-Webster says

    A political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

    The emphasis on race and economic / social regimentation are the major break from the left.

        That’s literally the whole American “MAGA” movement. They want Trump or someone like him as an absolute dictator and have no problem taking rights away from people.
