    Using “fascistic” instead of “fascist” would make the rhythm work. Definitely not your point but it bothers me…

      The missing syllable in the rhythm is the one that needs the stress, and putting stress on the -ic doesn’t sound right.

      Here’s one that works with the meter better:

      “…a fascist fuck regime”

      I think it works better this way.

      Also, “fascistic” sounds as silly as “racistic” to my ear.
