Fascism is a specific type of authoritarianism.

I never said that it wasn't.

It's not about any one word and their meaning. I am simply pointing out the fact that words evolve. I don't understand why you struggle with this simple concept so much.

Not with words that have Latin roots who's definition does not change.

Fascism is an extremely specific concept and it refers to a combination of right wing ultra nationalism (pride in one's country and believe that their country can do no wrong) and interventionalist foreign policy (invading other countries.)

The word you are most likely looking for is the word: Authoritarianism. Which is the concept that governments have strong control over individual people in a country and individuals generally do not have the rights to liberty and prosperity.

Dude you need to prove that just because someone is left-leaning that means he can't be a fascist.

There's been plenty of liberals who are authoritarians throughout the history of the world, but they're not fascists because that's a specific right wing ideology.

There's also been plenty of right wing authoritarians who were not fascists as well.
