I feel like this view (or using fascist) is a word that's easily thrown around.
While people dislike (and I do agree in some aspects) that Abe and his family have "interesting links" with religious groups like the Unification Church and the scandals that came around him with the LDP alongside the usual downplay of what Imperial Japan did, Abe didn't do anything that would suggest a dictatorship and there's no major cases of election fraud nor is there any cases of the media being "attacked".
Personally, I'd throw those in with Duterte (and maybe Marcos Jr.).
