"The only fascist state in the setting" um, what? I don't think there is a non-fascist state in the Grimdark except for the ancient races which are psychic and/or networked non-hierarchical hiveminds but even then they seem to occasionally create a commander.
I was always under the impression the Tau were communists, not fascists. The real fascists are the Imperium of Man.
At a distance they sound communist, but the rigid caste system and ruling class make it very authoritarian.
Authoritarian != fascist
Needs some reading up on political theory to understand, which is a dry subject matter. So the social sites have people calling even monarchies fascism, but it ain't the same.
EDIT: Ugh literally the comment next to yours is like "If it HaS a LeaDeR It'S faScISm"
That's a fine academic point, it doesn't matter in practice. It's like arguing a shit sandwich is better with piss on it.
Boy do I have some news for you about irl communist countries
You do? Did you find one that communists agree is actually communist?
Beat me to it. Lol!
Anything with a supreme unquestionable leader is indistinguishable from fascism.
Fascism is a type of dictatorship. That means not all dictatorships are fascist.
I believe there's a Dr. Seuss quote about this, somewhere out there.
Is it Red Fish Blue Fish 1 Fish 2 Fish?
Nah, he had lots to say about fascists

Hang on, is this going to devolve into communist dictatorship apologia by the way of "America Bad" whataboutism?
Nah, he wasn't that far left. He just hated American Nazi collaborators. Believe it or not, there were a lot of them in the US during WW2.
Okay but tf does that have to do with there not being any real differences between types of autocracy?
Orcs by default own the means of production, cus they all grow their own money in their mouths.
Well, Orcs did have a supreme leader until like 5 psychic ladies blew his head off with their vagina magic. Don't at me about the sexism, I didn't write the 40k lore.
If it's 40K then it's Orks. None of this Tolkieny Orc stuff!
