This is not just a response to your post but also your comments. You don't seem interested in answers but I will respond seriously regardless

Fascism is a really interesting phenomena that struggles to be pinned down into neat little boxes. It is often very difficult to define through non-materialist analysis because it can take so many different forms. This is why short definitions and wikipedia won't be able to do it justice. They examine fascism as an ideology rather than by its roots in political economy. There is no definition of facism I can give you in such a short comment that will explain what facism is, who is a fascist, and how to combat them. There is however, plenty of literature on the topic.

If you are genuinely interested give Fascism: What It Is and How To Fight It a read. It's worth it I promise.

Fascism can be characterized by many things but it is not its characteristics. Fascism is what happens when imperialism is not enough to sustain the infinite growth of monopoly capital or when imperialism is not available to monopoly capital. Fascism is what happens when the petit bourgeois fear their deteriorating position within political-economic hierarchy and are willing to hold on to that position even if it means annihilating a portion of the working class.
