Genuine consent to fascism would satisfy purely procedural definitions of democracy

Evidence

But this is not enough, because then consent to a fascist regime (and one may speak of genuine consent to such a regime) would be a democratic process. Thus, the consent itself has to be assessed—assessed in terms of its content, its objectives, its “values”—and this step seems to involve transitiveness of meaning. — Herbert Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man, 458
