“Fascism” is a rubber word that means whatever the user wants.
Marxism is materialistic socialistic utopianism. Fascism is the same socialistic utopianism with the emphasis on social utopianism, rather than material. They’re both egalitarian in their goals, but social egalitarianism requires cultural monoculture.
Put another way, Fascism is monocultural socialism with the emphasis on social egalitarianism, and material distribution is just a detail.
Fascism as a synonym for authoritarianism is just linguistic laziness.
