There is no definition of fascism that is exclusively that. Let’s take a list of key features defined by Umberto Eco, who was the expert on fascism and you can decide for yourself if Harris fits that:

The cult of tradition
The rejection of modernism
The cult of action for action’s sake
Disagreement is treason
Fear of difference
Appeal to social frustration
The enemy is both strong and weak
Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy
Contempt for the weak
Everybody is educated to become a hero
Machismo and weaponry
Selective populism
Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak

Eco states in the same paper, if you ever care to read it, that fascism will not have all the features, but will have multiple.

In other words skip the first three and you have Harris.

never forget that it’s hugely important to argue semantics when confronting genocide
