There's also another similar list written by Umberto Eco about the so called "Ur Fascism" ("perpetual fascism"); he basically identifies fascist-like characteristics which can be found even in governments that do not adhere to the old concept of "traditional" old-style fascism (which in Italy is forbidden by law).

Needless to say that his words sounded very topical during the last italian elections, dominated by the party "Brothers of Italy"; luckily this party has become more "moderate" after winning the elections, even though some aspects can still be "problematic".
