I'm struck by how debates over whether Trumpism is fascism or the Israeli system is apartheid are stuck in the realm of analogy, rather than category.

I think that's right (although I note that the people who should be territorial of fascism--that is, historians of Fascism-with-a-capital-F--were not especially the ones who insisted on keeping the question in the realm of analogy).

But the question then to me becomes why doesn't this happen with other categories. For instance, why don't we see people saying "Israel isn't settler colonialism because it doesn't fit perfectly an analogy to 19th c. North America" or whatever?
