Well, I'm certainly no scholar in the lore area, but what I've gleaned from sourcebooks, the wiki and general osmosis is that the Rule of Man was plenty fascist/totalitarian/xenophobic/insert-bad-thing-here. And that was just after contact with the Ziru Sirka! And at least the Terran material in Mongoose stuff is that the Solomani Party is pretty much the stand-in for Nazis in the setting.

How wrong am I?

If you referring to the TU, I don't think this statement very accurate.
I believe most published descriptions indicate a very much more cosmopolitan society & while I'm sure that military rule was pretty strict right after the 3I established it's occupation regime, by the CT time period (approx 1 century later) things had eased up enough that the 3I planned to return Terra to civilian rule very shortly.
[caveat: I'm not aware of any write-ups dating to the period 'tween the establishment of the SolomaniSphere & the SolRimWar]
