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

if calling it what it is waters it down so be it

"if using a word improperly muddies it's definition, so be it"

Are you anti dictionary or something?

the fact you are in denial doesnt make the latest fascist wave any less fascist.
