    What definition do you like to use?

    I generally go with the pre-war Italian (authoritarian) and German versions, but the meaning of the word has been changing constantly since the war and the related atrocity propaganda.

    Happy to work with your definition, and rephrase my words in that context

      Ok, that's the authoritarian Italian version for sure.

      If you want to use that version, that's fine. Can't say that that fascism sits easy with me, as it has the same sins as communism - it pretends that individuals in power are perfect.
