There's a pretty huge swath of historical government models that encompass "Authoritarian", and many of them are not Fascist.
That, actually, was my point.

All fascists are authoritarian, but not all authoritarians are fascists.

What's interesting is that the left (and I wouldn't even say the radical left), is happy to use the same techniques that fascists would use to achieve their authoritarian left goals. It's the irony of the repeated claims of "fascism" that claimed by the left.

When I said they look like fascists, I meant it - they were behaving as fascists often do.
