Did I call a particular poster at Feelies a fascist? I don't remember doing so. Perhaps you could cite the specific post. It is not name calling--in fact it is like calling someone a socialist or a leftist or a communist or, even, I suppose a Democrat!

But in any event, a fascist is someone who believes in fascism, a particular belief system. The definition from dictionary.com follows.
