Very nice overview. I particularly liked the 10th point because it matches the very fine description of fascism given by Robert Paxton in “The Anatomy of Fascism”: the cult of violence. I think most right-wing parties match your descriptions; we just call them populist rather than by their true name. To note also that, if Mussolini introduced fascism in the 1920s, Berlusconi introduced populism (or shall we say “fascism for the new millennium”) in the 1990s. F*, an Italian tradition alongside pizza & mandolin.
