actually, halx, i might have misunderstood the whole situation and foolishly thought that something from my professional function as historian of europe in the 20th century might help with the matter of thinking about fascism.
the problem with ideological forms is that they are messy. dictionary definitions are not---they frequently traffic in bland lists of common features that get you nowhere once you shift into looking at the world. if you are interested in ideological problems, it might make sense for you to consider what that might entail analytically. but maybe you find dictionaries more useful if what you are interested in is an x is good, y is bad kind of thing. it spares you having to think about much in the way of annoying complexity. i understand.
your choice, your world.
carry on as you like.
