Most of this describes how you supposedly GET to fascism, but none of it describes fascism itself. It's simply an economic system in which PRIVATELY owned businesses manufacture what the government orders them to manufacture.
It has features of capitalism - private ownership of business - and communism - government deciding what needs to be manufactured.
The fact that fascist governments are brutal comes with the territory; governments that can order businesses to manufacture whatever the government wants have to be brutal, because most people will resist being ordered around - especially business entrepreneurs.
Amusingly Naomi Wolf is now Trump adjacent and so likely to try and apply her list of fascist steps to the Biden administration. Taking a quick look at them I can see that it is easy to find such steps in the current maladminstrationn
I presume you’ve read Thinking: Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman? Ignorance is the product of a slow educational system which repeats the headline and no content. Thinking requires effort and schools are devoted to multiple choice tests, no written (no cursive) and no oral exams. Test scores are intended to satisfy Fast Thinking politicians, journalists (are there any?) and Educators (again, any?)

That's simply ridiculous. Try again.
