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.

“Fascism is Imperialism/Colonialism turned inward.” hit the mark pretty well

Ehhhh…

I don't necessarily disagree (love your history posts, btw) but to me, the point of this definition is breaking down the semantics of how Class War is being carried out? Because the alternative, in my mind upon reading your post, is that Fascism is just whatever Fascist do, and that leaves things even more ambiguous.
