If the term you are using deviates significantly from the common understanding, you might want to refrain from using it. Also that last bit amounts to ‘you can’t criticize me until you educate yourself on my idiosyncratic definitions,’ which seems both silly and unreasonable.
You might just want to use a different word than fascism, anti-Oedipal or otherwise.
