You can't have an authoritarian state without a military force to crush any form of opposition.
Sure you can. Military isn't the only kind of force available to use.
The other trite stuff about political correctness and uniformity is not germane to fascism any more than it is to the art of pigeon breeding.
Not germane? It's more germane than military might, for sure. Besides, his argument isn't that it's a perfect parallel, more that it's a modern version.
