The thing is, I was a voracious reader since I was a kid. I started reading early and never stopped. My school had competitions to get kids to read and I always won by a landslide, so I honestly probably heard or read the term then, but couldn’t tell you when. Could have been five, could have been fifteen years old.
About the only specific thing I remember about anything with a name when I was a kid was that the first book I ever failed to finish was Anna Karenina, when I tried to read it in fifth grade since it was worth the most points in the reading competition.
Other than that, it’s amazing to me that people really remember anything specific about their childhood, because it’s all a blur and blank to me.
I don’t know how anyone could answer this honestly, unless they have a photographic memory
How about a general timeframe? Was there a specific event that brought fascism into your consciousness?

Much of my childhood is a blur with occasional fits of extraordinary clarity.
