I can draw that line
If the anarchist (not fascist) and other violent protesters can, if the media can, and if academia can.
The problem is, fascism is an unmitigatable evil. And some activist people on the left toss out the term fascist against those on the right they don't like without care for what it actually means. And in doing so without reproach, either they modernize the term such that all those who advocate violence against unlike thought (with active or tacit government support of their advocacy), including themselves, must be fascists or they debase the term to merely "rightists we don't like."
I chose the former, because the latter reduces fascism to near nothingness. But if we want to stick with the longer-standing definition of the term, which is reasonable given what you write, then people who abuse the term need to be called on their abuses.
