But "fascist" is a lame epithet, too. No I think it the most fair analogy. I already fed you "statist." What's wrong with that one? It's the most apt, I think. No because statist implies that the government is passive, it won't be it will be heavy handed and eventually evil. Or you might try "collectivist" or "anti-capitalist." Perhaps "rent-seeking" or "authoritarian." They are at least in the neighborhood. "Fascist," not by quite a stretch. Fascist's are not collectivist's but rather they provide services through captilist corporations, but they dictate all that they do. Authoritarian applies to both socialism and fascist. IMO a fascist economic system is not as evil as a socialist one, at least not when provided by a democracy instead of a dictator. But bureaucrats can be almost as evil.
