    How exactly do you define fascism?

    Fascism doesn't have a static definition, it's fluid to adapt to current conditions.

    We will never have a complete definition of fascism, because it is in constant motion, showing a new face to fit any particular set of problems that arise to threaten the predominance of the traditionalist, capitalist ruling class. Neo liberalism, post modernism, neo colonialism, libertarian, democratic socialism. It's all just fascism reforming itself into whatever it needs to be to maintain capitalism, and settler colonialism, and suppress the international proletariat revolution to overthrow Imperialism.

    That just boils down to "whatever I don't like is fascism". It's worthless. Thougj it can take many forms, there are absolute characteristics that define fascism.

    I'm inclined to think that Umberto Eco knows what he is talking about better than any present company here.

    I'm betting you don't know a single thing about him other than that list

    I've read Foucault's Pendulum and I know he lived through fascist Italy.
