Racial supremacy has nothing to do with fascism. The only reason it is tied to it is because of the Nazi party. Take a look at ancient demoracy like Greece. Were they capitalists? It's not all the same thing. WW2 Itally was fascist too and they cared nothing for racial supremacy. From what we can tell the Dominion is a dictatorship with the Thalmor being that dictator, but that's complete speculation. We have no idea what their government and economy are like.

With that said, there are fascist elements to the Dominion that we can see. Everyone we know are very nationalist. They love their Dominion and they'd do anything for it. We can't tell how large the Thalmor are, but we see almost all altmer as members. This could be taken that everyone is Thalmor and the Thalmor is akin to the Nazi Germany where as long as you're in the Dominion you're Thalmor, or at least you'd better claim to be. We see parallels to Nazi Germany with the Thalmor as the nation is struck with catastrophy and the Thalmor save the day and make everyone super happy the Thalmor even exist which provides even more evidence for nationalism.
