As cool as this sounds, it's just fake. Not only the whole story, but the definition too. Fascism is called fascism because of Roman fasces, which were a symbol of power and force, and those are its two defining characteristics. Force above all else, and returnal to an idealized "glorious" past.
It's hard to call today's dicks fascists, as they likely have never read Gentile's philosophy. Today we have greedy, corporate, racist, bigotted authoritarians with no philosophy. Reliant on masses who think you have to be dark and hard to save an ungrateful people, like the Punisher or Batman.
