You've got some nerve citing fallacies when you're the one who started out with a massive strawman argument and a balance fallacy. First of all, no, the guy you replied to clearly did not mean "fascism" as a synonym for authoritarianism in general like you pretended he did; these days when we say it, we really do mean specifically that thing that matches Umberto Eco's 14 points (or a similar definition). Second, no, there's no unchecked left-wing authoritarianism going on here; you pulled that entirely out of your ass so you could make a bullshit "both sides" argument.
