True, but neo-Fascist has a more visceral reaction attached to it and I think a more widely recognized means and methods that is associated with it.
Also, I think that extremism at either end becomes a distinction without a difference. For example, the neo-Nazi's and white supremacists compared with these extreme Leftists is just that - a distinction without a difference. Both are driving to dominate and oppress the masses to implement their ideology and they employ the same means and methods.
I am thinking in terms of messaging and suggesting that "neo-Fascist" is an accurate descriptor and a good label for eliciting the appropriate emotive reaction. No further explanation is needed by the receiver or from the communicator. Both parties understand exactly what is being communicated.
