 I don't really like this definition as it seems to just be a reverse engineering of Nazi Germany rather than the aspects that made it fascist. To me the symbol of the axe with sticks wrapped around it is the starting point. Fascism is about state unity of purpose, everything can be dictated by the state and any opposition can be crushed. While I hate the state so this terrifies me, I think the bundle of bad things means fascism definition misses the mark.
