Fascism (/'fæ??z?m/ FASH-iz-?m) is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy quote: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

Those characteristics apply to most any authoritarian regime.
Hallmark of fascism and what makes it so insidious is the conjunction of big government and big business into one tyrannical entity which gives the illusion of free market choice and government regulation but in reality delivers neither.

Sound a bit like modern progressive corporate America which overwhelmingly lean Dem? Thats why Dems are fascist.
