"Fascists commonly utilize paramilitary organizations to commit or threaten violence against their opponents."
I saw that line in the wikipedia definition but I don't think that's unique to fascism. Admittedly, as I said earlier, I've found lots of stuff passes under the fascism definitional flag but the core elements for me are large business dominated politics and us/them communal identity raised to religious levels.
