Don't confuse authoritarian regimes with fascism. China is an authoritarian state running a diluted version of communism, but it's not fascist. Russia under Putin is leaning more towards fascism these days for sure, but they're not fascist outright yet.
Maybe what the hexbear folks gravitate around the most is the idea of authoritarianism. The flavour doesn't matter as much.
Is there still something communist in their economy? Are the people working 9 am to 9 pm 6 days a week, owning their means of production?
