            everything inside the state. nothing outside the state. nothing against the state.

            that’s what fascism is. none of what you described precludes fascism

                    the so-called private sector depends entirely on the state to enforce private property claims. the state issues corporate charters. the state “regulates” these corporations to ensure they benefit the state.

                    eco’s 14 characteristics are more like symptoms to diagnose fascism. the fascist ideology doesn’t require any of them except point 4 and, to a degree, point 13. it just so happens that fascist regimes will often display the other characteristics. they are not inherent to the ideology.
