A first-hand account, which the author then relates to the US:

Fascism is Not an Idea to Be Debated, It’s a Set of Actions to Fight (by Aleksandar Hemon on Literary Hub; Nov 1, 2018)

I'm guessing Hemon has read Umberto Eco.

Those who don't learn mistakes from the past are doomed to repeat them — paraphrasing Santayana

My favorite is when people criticise what they see as censorship or authoritarian as fascism. Typically, it's conservative boomers reacting to deplatforming or some figure they agree with being silenced... that's fallacious because fascism is more than just speech control... it's also counterproductive because liberals are never going to listen to someone calling them fascist.
