should we make sure we define it all the same and is this acceptable
Definition of terms:

I'd say the SOURCE of the definitions is most important thing. If we can agree on common SOURCES then we can have an actual conversation. So I'd suggest WEBSTERS DICTIONARY (online hopefully) is a valid source of definitions. I don't know where you got these definitions you posted as I don't see any sort of reference source? It's always important to "Site your sources" in any discourse IMHO

So where did you get your definitions? Was it from Websters Online?

we can use websters http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascist
Full Definition of fascism

1
often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

2
: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control <early instances of army fascism and brutality — J. W. Aldridge>

But this is where I got it http://www.anesi.com/Fascism-TheUltimateDefinition.htm

Yup Websters is where I got the definition of fascism that I originally posted

In light of Spocks recent post about saving the GMC forums for truly important things, like guitar related stuff, I'm going to probably back off of initiating and if I can at all help it, responding to political posts. After all, it doesn't seem like it's benefiting anyone and it may be taking away from practice time
