Like I said as long as the victims aren't white you wouldn't consider it fascism. Like is the fact that the white population got to vote on how to oppress supposed to make it less fascist for the oppressed?

Fascism isn't just a term for people doing bad things though I hate to be that guy, but it was a distinct movement that started in the 20th century. Doesn't excuse any of the atrocities committed but colonialism was initially carried out by European monarchs most white people didn't get to vote for that. White people were constantly reconstituting their philosophical systems to explain why they actually had the right to enslave and exploit people. Shit goes back to the ancient Greeks.

No, fascism is the marriage of corporations and the government, which allows them to legalise forced labor and genocide in order to drive down labor costs, monopolize whole industries by force and thereby maximizing profit. Fascism got adopted as the moniker for these types of governments because Mussolini made it very explicit with his "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.", but that doesnt mean that the idea started in Italy. Was Nazi Germany not fascist? It's a movement distinct from the italian blackshirts after all...
