Absolutely correct.

it's fascism

Right about one of them, wrong about the other.

Not everything that's authoritarian and awful is fascism and pretending that it is like some deranged Alex Jones fan waters down the word to the point that we can't properly fight ACTUAL fascism and some don't think it even exists.

Words matter. If enough people use them wrong, it makes it much harder to pinpoint what fascism is and why it's more important to eradicate than the also awful but nowhere near as bad neoliberalism.
