Of course, there will be many interpretations, but what are the defining Marxist ideas on the definition?

I ask, because you see a lot of libs and liblefts calling America fascist, but then being asked how, and not being able to respond. It makes them (and us, because we always get lumped in with them) look bad. I'd like to be able to step in if I ever witness such a thing.

I think we're at a point in history where defining movements as fascist isn't really important. Whatever we've got is some kind of post-fascist evolution, bu, iudk, trying to define whether the US is fascist or not seems less important than convincing people that America is the baddies, whatever you name it's political and economic system.
