Yeah, fascism includes authoritarianism but not the other way around. You can be authoritarian and not a fascist. Which doesn’t make you good, just different flavour of bad
All governments and all societies as of today are authoritarian by nature, no matter how small or big. Even those “direct democracy” villages have hierarchy, and are thus authoritarian. Stop claiming authoritarian = bad.

Isn’t oppressive authoritarianism one of the elements that make up fascism?

Fascism is explicitly right wing. If it’s not right wing then it’s still authoritarian, but not fascist.
if by “authoritarian” you mean “when the government does stuff”, then by your logic every government in existence is authoritarian.
Really don’t feel like going into a supposed gotcha since you have to realize it’s a sliding scale. So it’s not my logic, it’s your logic.
