I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I'm asking the people who know better than Google.

When a South Asian calls the British monarchy fascist or Churchill a genocider in my experience.

    Isn't monarchy already a bigger bad word in itself than fascism?

    I actually always wondered a bit about the line between fascism and monarchism. To the casual observer they might seem nearly identical, though I wonder if in historical materialist terms it's a reactionary attempt to backslide to feudalism rather than progress capitalism to socialism.
