The colonies didn’t resort to violence when unfairly taxed, they just offered a tea party.

I hope to see a time when it’s commonly accepted that Starship Troopers is not a fascist book, just a smart one.

The movie does, of course, accuse it of being fascist while pretending it’s satire.

Anyway, in history the conflict seemed like “military with the fascists or under fascists, and often helping fascists”, but in a lot of modern situations it seems that militaries are the component fascists fear most and try to neuter or spend in useless wars or corrupt. Every period of history is different. So maybe Starship Troopers being militarist is not a fascist trait too.

Ooops. Sounds like you accidentally picked up a Texas MAGA “history” book? Or maybe one covering the 18th century or before?
