Collins School Dictionary Definition
Fascism: "Extreme right-wing political ideology or system of government with a powerful dictator and state control of most activities. Nationalism is encouraged and political opposition is not allowed. "
Therefore, a fascist would be someone who believes in nationalism (when the government controls everything and belief that you are superior to others).
I believe that social fascism was displayed when the bullies in the play we're being horrible to James and believing they were better than him. If you refer to page 9, you can see James being called names such as "the gimp", "dirty beast" and etc. The bullies belittling James shows that they feel there are more superior than him in order for them to feel like they were able to call him such terrible things.
