Fascism
How do you define fascism? My reasons are probably obvious, but still I'd like to know your definitions.

A central Government under one leader where the state has all the rights and individuals have none.

If it's any comfort (and it shouldn't be) I think you are heading for e new feudalism rather than a new fascism.

Further to my definition you could add

In theory the ideological opposite to communism, in practice indistinguishable from it.

I kinda like Wikipedia's definition:

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of radical authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce, which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

Also sounds familiar - "fake news;" nominate only ultra-conservatives; ban Muslims; separate families; set stiff tariffs; make enemies with allies; etc.
