I think calling everyone a fascist would just water down the impact of the fascist world just like the far right- or far left-wing words which nowadays are just used on more left/right parties but are kinda not close on their agenda like the 20th century parties were where these definitons came from.

But educate me if some of these countries have parties which really apply most general aspects of the fascism movement

A few of the AFD highlights

Member of the Bundestag suggested to shoot every migrant at the border.

Another one claimed not every SS member was a bad person. Which lost them the support of French and Italian fascist.

Leader of the party in Thüringen, a history teacher, used a slogan of the SA.

There is many more...

Yeah. Scary stuff. I live in central Berlin, and it's pretty relaxed here. Did the Mauerlauf last weekend and immediately when you cross the Brandenburg border to some of these villages, they're full of AfD advertisement. Berlin is definitely the Portland of Germany :D
