None of that is fascism. It's just run of the mill liberalism.
While not exclusive to it, they are elements of fascism.
It's funny that we have all these lists and essays and books on how fascist ideology and policy is a confluence of many such elements, yet people still act as tough "is this person/party/state fascist?" is a simple yes or no question with no gray area.
Its arguable that its better to define them by the intent of the ideology rather than just their outcomes.
