Neither was slavery. Was that OK too? And to clarify (though it’s worrying this point needs to be made), I mean morally.

Fascism has a very clear definition. It describes a particular set of behaviours and actions, all of which you can compare to reality and determine if it’s happening or not. It’s an objective word. If anyone is trying to “dismiss” anything, it’s the people pretending it’s subjective because they support its outcome.
