You wouldn't call laws like that ...

severe economic and social regimentation

?

And a lot of our laws are fascist.

No, I don't consider such laws "severe economic and social regimentation", and even if I did, you still don't meet the actual definition of fascism as above. You've reaffirmed my opinion of fascism as a word that's become devoid of actual meaning.

So if we incorrectly redefine 'fascist' as something that is too socially/economically regimented for your liking, which current laws do you consider fascist? How do you feel about laws against murder, or more uncontroversial environmental laws that might prevent companies from dumping toxic pollutants into public water supplies?
