Could you recognize it....without some journalist telling you?
So this is the general description: you have a country where forced control over opposition exists....meaning there's one party, one theme for the public, and no open discussion over any policy or strategy.
In this country, there is a written 'script' about society/commerce/economics. No matter how stupid the economy runs....you just accept things.
The country has one strong figure/party that has a central mechanism over the country. Whatever comes out of the capital.....is stamped 'approved'.
National unity in this country is what matters.
The nation will often portray its theme as bringing the nation into 'one'.
Everywhere you turn....there is symbolism (in movies, TV, statues, public days off).
Masculinity tends to be a major part of the trend. Most will suggest that you can't have fascism....if a woman is in charge, and half the government is made up of women.
There is always an element of violence accepted (demonstrations, riots, etc) to overcome the great 'evil' that confronts the government.
There's always a feeling of people being victims, and that the government is coming to your rescue.
Fascism is always seen as a 'solution' to problems.....if you just had enough central control....enough 'adult' leadership....enough changes, then things would get better.
