Though I'm late to the party, and the discussion went off the rails. I wonder how many people who've expressed their opinions on the matter have actually read The Doctrine? Despite being a principal opponent of fascism (not really because of two grandfathers who took part in destroying of nazism, which often wrongly equated with fascism), I must say it was a decent read and I very much understand it's appeal at the time.

Speaking about the future of fascism. If you take into consideration the context of the time then and now, fascism not only coming as natural but expected alternative to emerge. In fact, for most of human history it should be viewed as the standard, rather than alternative, if you get to it's barebones. While the Progress (spelled exactly like that, starts from the capital letter) is a relatively short-living alternative to master plan of human history (if there's one). So what to expect at the time of crisis of ideas, when pendulum of the Progress is about to swing the other way? Exactly, fascism will reemerge in some form, at least this is how I understand situation and what I expect from mid-term future, unless... unless there'll smth with bigger appeal.
