Is the US fascist? Are all bourgeois states fascistic? If not then why are some fascist and others not? Is post-Stalin USSR fascist? Was FDR fascist? Is Putin fascist?

It's not post hoc. It was the self-description in the 1930s.
if discussions of fascism only used the definitions of self-identified fascists, they'd be very short discussions indeed.
Mussolini was pretty straightforward about what fascism is.
very true, but Mussolini-coined, Mussolini-identified, and Mussolini-defined fascism isn't sufficient to correctly materially identify and make predictions of all the fascism that proceeded it
Read this as "Mussolini-coded," which is how I'm gonna refer to Italians from now on.
