Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.
— Robert O Paxton, _The Anatomy of Fascism (2004)_

All of this doesn't actually define fascism, just describes potential characteristics it might have.
There's nothing here about it being a reaction to capitalism, or how it involves the government consolidating power and running itself like a giant corporation. Also doesn't go enough into how it builds national identity and narrative, which is the whole the purpose of the "obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood."
