Although analyzing fascism with respect to historical materialism seems to work (and here is quite interesting) the issue of fascism is historically bound and specific, and, further, in a sense historical materialists are blindsided by, fascism has a suspected occult/conspiratorial basis in historically given incidents.
We have discussed this many times at the Gurdjieff Con.
The term ‘fascism’ certainly has later contemporaneous usage and/or actual historical incidents. But the hidden aspect one suspects of current fascism is simply the attempt to replay the hidden logic of the Mussolini/Hitler era…
That barely makes sense. But the issue of fascism has an (obscurantist?) ‘cult’/spirituality aspect that appears out of nowhere and fools the public royally.
