Mormon Fascists
Both Professor Stuart Hall in 1979 and in 2004 by Dr. Laurence Britt wrote articles defining the major points in identifying extreme nationalism and or fascism, just as a thought experiment I took their criteria adapted and applied it to the LDS

  1. An easily identifiable symbol to rally too.
  2. Specific terms/ code words or euphemisms exclusive to the group.
  3. Powerful and continuing expressions of belonging to a chosen or special race.
  4. Praising of a Mythological golden age of your ideology that give rights of rule by dynastic or spiritual heritage to all members and especially to leaders
  5. Being included in and party to sacred mysticism denied to less worthy others
  6. Physical Body Worship combined with reminders of spiritual unworthiness
  7. Disdain for the importance of human rights especially those of outsiders
  8. Suppression of the rights of the individual in favour of the group and the greater good
  9. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause 
  10. The supremacy of the physical and or spiritual power broker
  11. Institutionalised sexism 
  12. A controlled mass media 
  13. Obsession with internal security and or secrecy 
  14. Religion and ruling elite tied together 
  15. Power of corporations protected 
  16. Power of labour suppressed or eliminated 
  17. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts 
  18. Obsession with crime and punishment 
  19. Rampant cronyism and corruption 
  20. A pretence at democracy including Fraudulent elections or sustaining of the leadership 
    If you accept the above as indicative of a fascist state then the LDS is a fascist institution.

Well I try not to take overt positions against a church or religion but the LDS almost pushes me to the point of serious scolding but I’ll hold my tongue and that is quite an accomplishment for me

Fits the bill.
