Do you even have a definition of fascist?

Is it:

1) Right wingers

2) People who hate Jews and glorify Hitler

3) Governments who make laws requiring corporations to cooperate with the state



It's none of these. Umberto Eco's ur-fascism is a good starting point for a more serious definition: https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1995/06/22/ur-fascism/


Why do you present three equally ridiculous options?


These are all definitions people have used. So what's your definition?
