For instance, some one might yell back "yeah, he's a fascist" at a rally, but not too many people I think would yell back "yeah, he's a totalitarian." It would take too long say.

Not saying that you're not correct, you are, but I think the terms "fascist" and "fascism" get thrown around more is that they work better for rhetoric, which is what this is.

I think "He's totally a totalitarian" would be good to say... ya know, a tongue twister
