That is not what I asked. You’re saying it’s being used incorrectly, which means you have a definition in mind which isn’t being met. What is that definition?

The Encyclopaedia Britannica definition?

“Although fascist parties and movements differed significantly from one another, they had many characteristics in common, including extreme militaristic nationalism, contempt for electoral democracy and political and cultural liberalism, a belief in natural social hierarchy and the rule of elites, and the desire to create a Volksgemeinschaft (German: “people’s community”), in which individual interests would be subordinated to the good of the nation.”

Or maybe the Webster’s Dictionary definition?

"a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition”

Because by those definitions “fascism” is not being used incorrectly.

If you have an alternate definition which supports your claim, you’ll need to provide it yourself.
