"Fascist", of course, is a label, rather a lot like "Liberal." It means what the user wants it to mean and can be used to lump together groups and individuals that have little or nothing in common. Among historians, economists and political scientists, it is generally (although not universally) agreed that the Fascist Party of Italy had little in common with the Nazi Party of Germany other than totalitarianism, extreme nationalism and expansionism, and these were the traits that they shared with the micro-parties of Eastern Europe as well. An interesting book on the topic of the right-totalitarian parties of inter-war Europe is Stanley Payne's History of Fascism.
