Topic for discussion: Does SGI have features of fascism?

for examples: "Heroic collective effort to attain a metaphysical goal; "a scape goated demonized adversary"; "anti-egalitarian"; "hostility to democracy"; "hostility to the values of the Age of Free Thought and Expression"; "the cult of the leader and admiration for his special qualities"; "a respect for a collective organization and a love for the symbols associated with it"; "the doctrines [such as 'victory or defeat'] contains little that is specific, beyond an appeal to energy and action"; "authoritarian autocracy"; "pseudo radical populism"; "economic [and religious in the case of SGI] corporatism"; "spurred by a strong charismatic leader whose reactionary ideas are said to organically express the will of the masses"; "who are urged to engage in an heroic effort to attain a metaphysical goal". Also, there are features of SGI leaders'speech that mirror closely the speech of the nationalist socialist leaders in the 1930s and 1940s.
