It technically isn't "fascism", it is tribalistic totalitarianism, but "sections of the left" have always been totalitarian (see Rousseau, arguably the original anti-rationalist utopian "leftist", who himself inherited the anti-rationalist tendencies of the counter-enlightenment and inquisitions).

Agreed. Tribalistic totalitarianism a more accurate description of what I was describing. It feels like the word fascism is bandied about a bit too much these days (as I dutifully demonstrated). Either way I don’t care much for tribalist totalitarianism or fascism. Thanks for that though :)
