> It’s not fascism to do things the way the rules/law specifies. That's not a workable definition. At many points in history fascists were literally the ones writing the rules and laws. Also, it's not like the law is software proved with formal methods to prevent fascism. There are bugs and exploits that are only prevented from being problems by the integrity of political actors, and some of those can be pretty trivially discovered. The more integrity you remove, the higher the chance you end up with a configuration that results in something like fascism.
