Before we get into a discussion, can I ask you what you think fascism is? By that I mean, given your current understanding, how would you define fascism, and what are the constituent elements of a fascist movement?

I ask because people tend to treat words like fascism, totalitarian, and authoritarian as pure vibes without really having an understanding of what they all mean. I get that sense from your reply, so I want to hear what you think right now without any cursory research.
