I think calling everyone a fascist would just water down the impact of the fascist world just like the far right- or far left-wing words which nowadays are just used on more left/right parties but are kinda not close on their agenda like the 20th century parties were where these definitons came from.
But educate me if some of these countries have parties which really apply most general aspects of the fascism movement
Germany definitely counts. The AfD is above 20%, in some states they might even govern alone. They probably will be part of the next government after the next election and they definitely are fascist.
It's mind boggling how a suspiciously nazi friendly party can get so many votes. Doesn't Germany have some serious anti-nazi laws written into it's constitution, or is that treated like a joke too like in Hungary?
Germany sold everyone the myth of denazification, while in some cases it was even more nazification, look at the articles liked in this comment for example.
