Actually, I think these kinds of lists of the political characteristics of 'fascism' are a bit misleading. They numerate characteristics that can generally be found in any authoritarian political movement or regime - for example in absolute monarchies. But fascism in more specific because it is in essence an economic phenomenon - "the continuation of capitalism by undemocratic means". It arises specifically in reaction to perceived threat to capitalism, generally from the left (revolutions and fear of a domino effect from them), or indeed the actual election of anti-capitalist governments in Spain in the 1930s and Chile in the '70s. As Hayek (Thatcher's guru, Pinochet's advisor) said, if democracy comes into conflict with capitalism, it's democracy that has to end.
My own view is that impending climate-ecological breakdown and the need to take steps to mitigate it are just such an existential threat to capitalism - and this is at bottom what is driving the current rise of fascism in 'western democracies'.
