I think we all have experience of fascism. It's not a magic thing; currently it's (unfortunately) a very common mode of human organization.
"Capitalism is a system in which the central institutions of society are in principle under autocratic control. Thus, a corporation or an industry is, if we were to think of it in political terms, fascist; that is, it has tight control at the top and strict obedience has to be established at every level -- there's little bargaining, a little give and take, but the line of authority is perfectly straightforward." — http://www.spunk.org/texts/quotes/sp000096.txt
(I am not trying to make a pedantic point about who is/isn't acting fascist. Just wanting to say we've very much internalized ideologies which we use as epithets.)
