"People sometimes say that today's ascendant far-right isn't fascism, because its ideology sometimes differs from that of mid-20th-century fascism.
But the ideology of mid-20th-century fascism *contradicted itself*, as it moved the goalposts around in service of the only thing it truly cares about: the dominance of the privileged group.
Fascism is a politics of chauvinism. Everything else is just window dressing to justify the chauvinism and give it a veneer of intellectual legitimacy. The details can and will be revised as expediency demands."
