@Palky55 @MarkHoltom Webster's was not "bought by a corporation" in 1987. It was its own corporation from 1831 to 1964, when bought by Encylopedia Britannica, who own it today. Their current definition of fascism is basically the same as the one in my Merriam Webster Ninth Collegiate Dictionary, printed in 1983.
