Fascism is a system where the state has supreme authority over the individual.

With such a reductive definition there would be no significant difference between liberalism and fascism. Imperial America has shown time and again that Black individuality means nothing to the bourgeois state. The Summer of 2020 should have made that abundantly clear.

It demands […] central planning

Not really.

and the sacrifice of personal freedom to a collective ideal of nation, race, or leader.

Like the U.S. military.

Classical liberalism is built on the protection of individual rights,

If by ‘individual’ you mean ‘White cishet capitalist men’s’, then yes, RockChartrand.

limits on state power,

There has never been such a thing as ‘unlimited state power’.

free expression,

Nope.

voluntary association.

I remember hearing a statistic that only 10% of the German population registered with the NSDAP. This is another meaningless ‘distinction’.

The Weimar Republic didn’t “enable” Hitler. Its institutions were dismantled, censored, intimidated, and bypassed until nothing liberal was left.

Strange that there were still other political parties when the Italian and German bourgeois states promoted Fascism in 1922 and 1933, respectively. That being said, it is true that the prefascist states had already devastated Italian and German communism, to certain extents.

The subordination of the individual to a collective cause

Individualism continued to exist under Fascism, and every neoliberal will tell you that the (collective) forces that direct the market are more important than what a lone customer or even a lone businessman wants, so this is yet another meaningless ‘distinction’.

State control over the economy

No, but I can see why you would rather overlook the class character of the state, given that it would compromise your generic analysis.

Suppression of dissent

See here again. ‘Freedom of speech’ only exists in fairy tales; it is nothing but an ideal.

One-party rule

Reminder that neoliberals will tell us with a straight face that they would rather have two identical parties ruling as opposed to only one.

Propaganda as truth

Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!

“Enemies of the people” to justify repression

So all liberal régimes that support Zionism are actually illiberal, then. Good to know.

Central planning of life, work, speech, and association

What? What does this even mean?

liberalism says “Your life is yours,”

This may be the bravest lie that I have read all month.

What anticommunists depend on is nonsensical, baseless, and emotional assertions, because envy, resentment, ignorance, and indifference are their lifeblood.

Fixed.
