Hi Jacalyn, in a way I did my homework, and found out in which way some US Americans use the term 'fascist'. However I am not exceptionally fond of this usage.
If you would like some idea on the reason try: Message 10819301
as well as

and
Message 10841957.

I notice however that it may be more important to make that difference in a country that has seen both these kinds of dictature than in one that has seen neither (or do you seriously disagree about the latter point?).

The amazing thing to me is exactly how much such terms of political nomenclature can vary between your place and mine. Apart from 'fascist' this is very obvious for 'liberal'. Over here liberals are the only ones with a fairly consistent agenda and history of lowering taxes and deregulating state and economy.
However due to party shifts, some political words lose their meaning temporarily.

Regards, MNI.
