Fascism is not a word you make up and throw about willy-nilly. It describes a specific form of authoritarian government.

Fascism is a state of mind, and it occurs at many levels.

To draw a gender-parallel, if it occurs at the level of head of household, it's called male-chauvinism. If it occurs at level of religion, it is called patriarchy.

To draw a leader-parallel, if it occurs at level of subreddit, it's called mod-abuse. If it occurs at level of government, it's called fascism.

They all represent the same thing - power/control gone to head.

And it is ironically hilarious how a subreddit that bans/censors/tramples opposing/minority views constantly criticizes the government of the same.
