The tactics are tyrannical but not uniquely fascist. Jailing political opponents because they angered the crown is a European tradition that predates Rome.

Fair. I guess fascist is just what humanity has come to call such things.

Fascist is also what humanity uses to refer to actual fascism, which is having a pretty unfortunate resurgence at the moment. Its not just referring to tyranny.

I heard someone call the removal of the green M&M fascism once. Just because people label it as such doesn't make it accurate.
