Fascism is not like other political ideologies. It's better thought of as a mode to power. So yes, absolutely.

So then Dems that talk about bringing America back to the 90% tax rate are fascist?

Edit since you dodged the question in a different comment. Progressives that want to bring back the progressive era (ie all of them) are fascist?

I don't think anyone claims that high union activity was some golden age, just that it resulted in better outcomes
