Perhaps you should articulate a well-defined definition of fascism and provide arguments for why you clasify someone as a fascist if you are going to criticize someone else whose viewpoint is dfferent. Calling out someone for 'obviously dumb' claims assumes a universal non-subjective definition at the very least. It's also a seriously lazy way to argue a point.

Starting one's argument from the consensus of the reality-based community may be "lazy", but starting to quibble over basic definitions in a much higher-level discussion is a pretty sure sign one is on the wrong side of whatever the argument is about.
