At some point I think we are talking cross purposes. There seems to be an agreement that there is not universal understanding of the term, regardless of whether that is from intentional malfeasance. I’m not against calling fascists fascist, but I don’t think one can safely assume that everyone understands how you mean the term. But I’m all for “reclaiming” it from those who would seek to dilute it to diffuse the culpability of those in office, but that requires not just using the term, but explaining it in some manner.
