No offense but what the fuck are you even saying
Fascism is absolutely inherently bad, there is no removal of its evil, oppressive, and authoritarian traits after which anything is left.
In their defense, if everyone was perfect everything would be perfect.
But you're absolutely right. As long as humans are human there's no way to separate human nature from authority. And as a result, any system that doesn't strictly limit scope and authority is inherently bad.
Right, but fascism could not exist in that kind of world because it's based, at least partially, on exploiting inequalities to turn citizens against an "other" (usually already-marginalized groups at first). So if "everyone was perfect," there would never be the right conditions for fascism to take root.
