I recently heard a talk of a German professor for history. He made a point why it is (as often) wise to use the labels correct. In his opinion, "fascism" is something slightly diferent, more militaristic fe. So Trump, the AfD, and all the other arseholes need an own description - post-fascism. It made kinda sense to me. But yeah, I understand why its sometimes fair to use a fighting word.

If you are interested and understand German fluently, here is the said talk.

I can warmly recommend this podcast series in general. They do quick lectures on specific, sometimes controverse, history topics with proven experts. And they do it in a sober and neutral tone. Unlike many other podcasts out there. I like that :)
