You entry ends up resuming why Fascism is keen to be just an insult deprived of actual and concise meaning.

First of, let's avoid charts. Charts are OK for a glance on comparing BTCUSD pair performance, but when it's to define something they add more noise than anything else.
Let me show you how your chart translates on to "Personal Freedom"*



Then you continue with an anti-Trump bias, but Trump, as well as Putin, is an elected body, this means the people voted them for be their representatives. This implies that you just consider it to be democratic when it fill in your bias, otherwise are fascists, resuming "the will of the people" to your own will.

* - There's no such thing as "collective freedom", the collective is the only constraint of your freedom to start with. In a small scale it can be resumed as when you were single to when you're married, while single you want to go somewhere, you just go (as long as you've the means to get there, obviously), when you aren't you've to try to convince your wife to go or let you go.

The wikipedia entry is also public domain...

communism, which, by such narrow definition, are fascists, or even worse extreme fascists, as the state controls absolutely everything on society.

Communists are not fascists... they are literally on the opposite ends of the political spectrum



Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy

Fascism is supporting a dictator/king to dictate laws at his whim, instead of a governing body like congress... communism is democratic compared to fascism... in communism, the will of the people is what is most important... in fascism, the will of the dictator is the only thing that matters

Trump is a fascist like Kim Jong-Un and Vladmir Putin... that's why he likes them so much... he wants to BE them

For ages "Fascism" has been used as pure insult, this attitude deprived it from meaning as calling one Fascist or SoB resumes to the same, doesn't exactly means he is indeed a fascist or his mother is a prostitute. Madeleine Albright lately wrote on this subject over the very same concern.

What IS Fascism on strict sense?

From the little Mussolini left behind him, we can establish that any ideology who wants to centralize full power at the State is a Fascist ideology, but little more can be establish beyond the burden of doubt to be or not fascist behavior or ideology, as we start to collide with other ideologies, such as communism, which, by such narrow definition, are fascists, or even worse extreme fascists, as the state controls absolutely everything on society.

So... how can we define and give it a meaning?
