Democracy is the problem. Fascism is just nationalistic, so fascism isn't the word you want here. Authoritarian would be a better description.
But, in the hobbesean view of government which is essentially "American Liberal" or collectivist, you forfeit individual rights to be part of society, and really can't complain, regardless of what the gov't decides is best for you.
