Fascism, defined

In a recent rant against the National Review, J. Brad mentions the following (in re: Francisco Franco)

As to fascism: the German philospher Ernst Nolte's classic Fascism in Its Epoch set out six key characteristics of fascism:

• Strong belief that--through social darwinism--morality is ultimately tied to blood and race, understood as descent and genetic relationship.
  
• Strong rejection of the classical "liberal" belief that individuals have rights that any legitimate state is bound to respect
  
• In its place, an assertion that individuals have duties to the state, seen as the decision-making organ of the collectivity.
  
• A rejection of parliamentary democracy and other bottom-up institutions to assess the general will.
  
• The assertion that the general will is formed by the decrees of the leader.
  
• A strong fear of twentieth-century Communism, and an eagerness to adapt and use its weapons--suspension of parliaments, mass propaganda, rallies, street violence, and so forth--to fight it.

Ok I'll shoot.
1) Yes (Cronyism, think Michael Brown, Michael Powell)
2) Yes (NSA, Gtmo, torture, enemy combatants, rendition)
3) Yes (evidence is harder to conjur up, but faith-based initiatives?)
4) Yes (Distain and rallying against congress, CBO, GAO, etc)
5) YES (What the leader wants, end abortions, faith-based, increase immigration (yes, I'm actually *for* that one, but it should piss off the religious right)
6) Uhoh. Does it *have* to be communism that they are afraid of, and not terrorism? Because we used to equate anarchists, terrorists, and communists as fellow travellers.
