That can just be liberalism though, there’s not much a difference anyway, but fascism is more specific.
the first item, yes, but the second is not inherent to liberalism (the proletariat is always repressed, but it's not a minority group)
So by your definition many liberal countries have been fascist before fascism was first theorized (colonialism, homophobia…). Have you read the Really Existing Fascism yet? Roderic basically writes that fascism is little different than regular liberalism besides a return to primitive accumulation.
colonialism is not repression of the domestic population, but homophobia to the point of mass state violence against homosexual people would fit the second criterion; new terms can be applied retroactively
I haven't; that definition doesn't make sense to me, but maybe it will after I read it
