You know how people know that the Protectorate is a fascist organization? Because apart from them eliminating all opposition and taking over anything they can get their dirty grubby fingers on they and here let that sink in again, are not above gassing people. Did you get it now? Gassing. People. Did it sink in yet or do I have to write it in capital letters?
So if eliminating all opposition + killing citizens is 'fascism', does that mean USSR, PRC, Khmer Rouge, etc., are good examples of fascism?

there's another word for punishing people who steal shit and make life generally miserable for the people around them, it's called justice

I find it funny how you are so dismissive of the many parallels between Stalinism/Maoism and Fascism. By the way, are the Protectorate left or right wing?

I find it funny that you seek your utmost to make everything bad in the world be the work of fascism. I guess according to you, in WW2, Germany was defeated by fascism.

By the way, are the Protectorate left or right wing?
Neither, because in the game, they aren't fleshed out enough to tell. Neither their economic nor (most) social policies are mentioned.

I made it pretty clear why I consider the Protectorate fascist and Styg could have chosen a variety of heinous deeds. To me them using gassing the Drones speaks a pretty clear message from Styg. That being said, you can argue all you want, but there is a huge overlap between dictatorial leadership, enough that you can indeed expand the term to all of the 20th century dictatorships which as the link I posted showed some people do. You might not like it but usage of terms, especially colloquially, have changed in the past and will continue to do so.

So many Reds here so little gas canisters. Well I Did joined first my Station, then the Mercenary Militia group and then the Protectorate as it was better future for my PC and his friends in Station and hole of Southern Rail then I sabotaged the experiment the best I could making sure the weapons they cannot control will not corrupt the Protectorate Leadership. Seriously why you need humans eating alliens when you have armor, guns and armored mechas.

To me them using mutagen makes them clear inheritors to the proud legacy of based Biocorp that mutated people for fun, ie. they're doing shit in line with the world's setting. I get that the nazis shoved 25 centimeters of wood up your granny's ass, but that's no reason to see fascism in every shadow, or to mangle dictionaries with factually incorrect colloquialisms.
