| A) seeks to preserve AND advance culture? Fascism, as any right wing ideology, seeks to maintain, or return to a more, class structured society. If it were to advance, it would be to level the playing field for all, as communism does (should).
B) Europe as a nation is not a nationalistic idea, it is (in its ideal form) a humanistic one. It is not about creating a strong Europe, it is about helping each other and preventing wars in our battered continent. There may well be fascist elements who wish to create the new reich, but that is not the majority view. The actual state of the EU is simply a rich mans playground, not compatible with either humanism or fascism.
C) In what way does fascism have a checks and balances system? The only check on an overly powerful government is an armed populace, but as you stated, when people dissent from what the leader wants that check is taken away.
D) See above
E) Ah, so I assume the building of the third reich from the baltic to the atlantic was simply protecting their borders? Or Mussolini's movements into Ethiopia? I state again, fascism believes in the rule of the strong and supression of the weak.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
