At the extreme, sure. Authority/Anarchy isn't a binary selection. (Fascism is an authoritarian position, specifically it's a right-nationalist movement centered on cultural identity)

Pretty sure the one thing to say about fascism besides it being authoritarian is that it wants corporate control. Mussolini was debating calling it Corporatism.

And that is exactly the situation in Russia: it's an

  • right-nationalist ("rescuing" suppressed people from the evil Ukraine - that one is super ironic because it's exactly the same argumentation Germany used with the Sudetendeutsche)
  • authoritarian (arrests for holding up empty pieces of paper, drafting for the war - but only in the poor areas far away from Moscow) regime
  • centered on cultural identity (anti-gay laws, "restoring the CCCP", persisting propaganda comparing the Ukraine war with WW2, "we have to defend ourselves from NATO)

It's pretty late, so i don't repeat the exercise for China or bring up more examples - i'm pretty sure that if you try to counter my points someone else will give you more examples.

At no point in here have I said that Russia isn't a fascist state. It checks all the boxes: violent, authoritarian, nationalist, suppressing minorities and marginalized groups, single party, lots of corruption. You're confusing my Communist sympathies with uncritical support for the modern regime dressed in red.
