Fascism? Fascism didn't exist until the socialist Benito Mussolini invented it in 1919. Nazism also didn't have a name then. How'd this guy correctly name these two ideologies fifty years in advance?

I've been looking into this myself. Maybe they did exist as philosophies or simple ideas by previous thinkers?

Maybe this whole document is a lie?

Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe whoever rewrote the current version wanted to make it "simpler" for modern, dumbed-down people and used simple terms such as Nazism and Fascism instead of "National Socialism" and "Authoritarianism" for example.

Then it's a forgery. If I altered the Declaration of Independence to "update" the language, that's called forging.

Very likely. But it could be a forgery with the meaning intact.

If it's a forgery, it's a forgery. If they altered one part of it there's no telling what else was altered, or if it was made up from whole cloth (this is the most likely explanation). It's a fake. The evidence is right there in front of your nose.
