The problem is not that the list is wrong (it is pretty much obvious as you say). IIRC the problem was that not every country that displays those tendencies is fascist (i.e. to call the Soviets fascist is to make the term fascist too broad) and that Naomi Wolf suggested that the US displayed those traits and was therefore on the road to fascism.
Essentially you could define the terms used in the list so that every country appears fascist.
