World War 2 was fought against Nazis and Fascists. Prior to the War, the Nazis and Fascists were admired by the world elite, especially in America, for bringing order to their chaotic societies: Germany after the hyperinflation of the Weimer Republic, Italy where the trains never ran on time.
After the War, and to this day, it is a pejorative to call someone a “Nazi” or a “Fascist.” They are worn-out terms which have created a tone-deafness in society. If Donald Trump is a Nazi, then so is half the American people who support him. Most people who hurl the slurs do so without even having an understanding of what they mean.
Also, after the War, the world elite did not give up on these ideologies, they merely sublimated them into a new jargon about social and economic planning. The planned society was their aspirational goal.
Central to this was social engineering through incentives created in the tax code. The income tax is a tool of the federal and state levels of government, while the property tax is one reserved to the local level of government.
In Idaho, which by its structure of government is a republic, has imposed a bureaucratic layer which is thoroughly fascist. The State Legislature has created a total control over the professions and the control of land use through zoning and a property tax system which works by incentivization. This is all to achieve a planned society.
On this website, this aspirational goal has been described as the governance of the Metrocrats. If you study Jo Hindman’s book by that title, you will learn that it is really a criminal syndicalism.

Also, an article by Jeffrey Tucker: The Machinery of Fascism Revisited is very good.
