The following would be encountered in a fascist government:

- The government requires a small business owner to make all business and accounting books available for government scrutiny and use.
- A business leader partners with the government to bring in substantial tourism.
- Children attend a morning assembly at school to learn patriotic songs, slogans, and goals in support of the government.

Going to synagogue or church being strictly regulated or forbidden is more typical of an authoritarian or totalitarian state, rather than a fascist one. Striking workers being protected as they march en route to the capitol does not align with the anti-labor and pro-corporate stance of fascism.
