Looking to a dictionary for a definition of fascist seems a bit
pedantic to me.

It is pedantic to expect a word to be used correctly?

A good working definition is to say that a fascist is
one who uses violence or intimidation of the threat of either to
advance political ends.

So you reckon you are the arbiter of what a word means?

Anyone who says that such can't be found at
both ends of the political spectrum has their head up their arse.

And those who use words without even vaguely knowing what they mean simply
ignorant.
