What if the only thing keeping certain people alive is an authoritarian power center that sustains people who are incapable of sustaining themselves? Is it fascist to want it to stop?

depends on the means, basically. if you want to use state power to make it stop then yes its fascist. there are more responsible ways to attempt to reduce the amount of welfare and aid programs in the world.

i'm not gonna to deny that there are perverse incentives and broken economies all over the world. my objection is to rhetoric that explicitly devalues human life. we can talk policy preferences all day long and disagree as reasonable people without devaluing life.
