Fascism is a dictator who thinks they're intellectually creative. Like any nutter or cultist who thinks they've found "the way" to do something that has been obfuscated by [insert things they claimed to be against as they climbed to power], but they're the ones that have the real answer! They're so creative that they do the same thing any authoritarian does: Eliminate critics, make bogeymen up, consolidate money and power, and always fear being overthrown.
