    There has been a rise in far-right parties

    Extremist organizations exist always and everywhere - what both of you fail to understand is that they’re very small (although sometimes loud) minorities.

    what do you think fascism is?

    A totalitarian movement in pre ww2 Italy, that killed a lot of people.

    What do you think it is?

      Your definition is very narrow sighted and not really meaningful. Fascism is not just a “movement”, it’s an ideology; identifying the specifics can be slippery, but there are many values, rhetoric and tactics keep coming up. Umberto Eco’s definition of “Ur-Fascism” is.a good start.
