I never implied this definition of fascism is the consensus. It is however undeniably clear and concise. There have been an actual and real problems with defining fascism, like that 12 criteria thing is pretty useless in normal political discourse. How do you fight fascism effectively if you you can’t easily define it? At any moment someone is going to come in with a sideways tackle “actually it doesn’t fulfill the criteria 532.2 of subparagraph 7 so shouldn’t be considered fascism!” lol. Which is basically what the OP mainstream news is doing, see OP article with their fucking mealy mouthy both sides approach. This approach helps the actually fascist Örebro so if they do happen to get into power and commit a ethnic cleansing… Needless to say I definitely consider ethno-nationalism or even just strong nationalism as at least partially fascist. And I think the specific leadership configuration like authoritarian dictatorship doesn’t really matter than much or have anything to do with the ideology.
