I've seen a lot of people called fascists who don't fall under those criteria, which is the issue. An obvious example now might be Donald Trump (arguably, due to immigration crackdowns, power assertions, espionage, and marginalization of people with autism), but people such as Joe Rogan or Vladimir Zelensky? And you have people nobody is calling a fascist who nevertheless fit in that criteria, like Kim Jong-un and Emmanual Macron.
