In other words, the state knows best, and if a bunch of that state's people die because of whatever the state thinks is best, then they should be glad to do it.

Facism is marked by I think two factors- extreme nationalism or group identity and a single leader who acts as the state. His word is the official opinion, and that's that. If you disobey, you're not fulfilling your duty as a citizen of that state or group and will be ostracized.

And that's all I have to say about that
This could just as easily be applied to the Communist state under Stalin or North Korea right now. The Nazis were Fascist, and even though I'm told that the NAZIS were right wing, NAZI does stand for National Socialist German Workers Party --- sounds left wing to me .
