Well the USA and Britain weren't fascist though they were bourgeoise liberal democracies like Dessalines said. Francoist Spain was fascist, but with a more Catholic bent as opposed to Nazism which wanted to create a weird neo occult religion.
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.
Lemmy socs have the same issues everywhere. Anything that isn't exactly them is fascist. No difference between Fascist and fascist either. They don't understand
Well thank god we have anti-woke warriors here to protect the liberals from getting skkkratched. "They dont understand" says the guy who wants us to believe that it's only fascism if it comes from the italian region of europe, otherwise it's just sparkling advanced capitalism.
