Fascism has a specific meaning and should not be abused to indicate a state form which you find disagreeable. There have not been that many true fascist states, Italy under Mussolini and Spain under Franco are examples of such, Germany under the National Socialist party was variation on a fascist state. The Soviet Union under communist rule was not a fascist state although the ideologies have many similarities, the same goes for China under communist rule and the Russian Federation under Putin's oligarchy. Those who use the term fascist to indicate states like the United Kingdom under Boris Johnson or the United States of America under Donald Trump have no idea what fascism actually means. For one, it does not mean 'resistance against immigration from non-western states'. Here's a good start on what Fascism is, the definition of the doctrine as declared by its originator, Benito Mussolini. http://www.historyguide.org/europe/duce.html http://www.historyguide.org/europe/duce.html More can be found in Britannica's article on the subject: https://www.britannica.com/topic/fascism https://www.britannica.com/topic/fascism In short - and mostly from Britannica's definition, supported by Mussolini's words Fascism is characterised by an extreme militaristic nationalism, contempt for electoral democracy and political and cultural liberalism, a belief in natural social hierarchy and the rule of elites, and the desire to create a 'Volksgemeinschaft' (German: “people’s community”), in which individual interests would be subordinated to the good of the nation. Even shorter would be 'a militaristic nationalist dictatorial ideology which subjugates the individual for the (perceived) good of the nation'. It is such a close cousin to Communism and Islamism (and other similarly structured doctrines) that this short characterisation also applies to those ideologies.
