Their point is literally fascist propaganda

How so? I understand the relationship of fascism and capitalism. But it stands to reason a similar social framework could arise from socialism, especially during the transition from capitalism to socialism. Think Khmer Rouge

Okay so everything after "I understand the thing" proves you don't understand anything. You literally don't have any functioning definition of fascism at all. Socialism is the transition state. And the Khmer Rouge weren't socialist (you can tell because they were US funded during the cold war).

Maybe not, but patronization won’t help. Maybe explaining how this definition doesn’t apply to the Khmer Rouge. Fascism is a vague term. Was it authoritarianism? What separates it from fascism? Can socialist countries be authoritarian? Does that make them fascist if they’re not capitalist?
