It's yet more evidence almost 0% of the population actually understands what "fascism" really is...

Right. Fascism and Soviet Bloc-style communism are both "bad" in the sense that they have tended to produce authoritarian dictatorships that massively increase human misery. But other than that, they are not at all the same ideology.

The problem is with people labeling anything they dislike as "fascist. Surely we can admit it dilutes the actual meaning of the word by using it to refer to things that are, in-fact, not fascist?
