As I said, their problem isn't that fascism is bad, it's that they don't like the word, or anything that looks like 1930s fascism. For them it's a marketing problem that needs a marketing solution. How do we sell it to a country that hero-worships a generation that made war against it and first hand saw the evils it produced. Folk hate being called a fascist even if they fully support all the policies.

Lets put things this way:

Neoliberalism wants that The State, which is led by people chosen by vote with the votes of everybody - rich or poor - counting the same (ish) to stop "regulating", "interfering in the Market" and in general opposing the Power of Money. The Power of Money remember, is not at all equal for everybody, quite the contrary.

So essentially Neoliberalism, which is what the Liberals who control the DNC want, seeks to replace Democracy - were the greatest power is the one controlled by the vote - with Oligarchy, were the greatest power is that of Money.

Outside the moral arena, the only difference between Oligarchy and Fascism is that in the former the Pyramid of Power has the Moneyed at the top, then The State, then the riff-raff, whilst in the latter it's The State, the Moneyed and then the riff-raff.
