This by Bob is important. Whenever I read something on the lines above, I am reminded of Gore Vidal's explanation of what would be an American Fascist President (the picture fitted with Ronald Reagan like hand in glove, in fact). I am also reminded of Weinstock et al., who in a book whose title I shamefully don't remember explained that corporatism (that is, the structural essence of fascism) was the normal way in which American economy could work. There are links between Fascism and some of the forms of "nationalism" in the Third World, however, that are worth thinking about. Since as an Argentinean serious Marxist I have dedicated a good deal of my life to explain that Peronism was not Fascist at all, and blah blah blah, perhaps it will sound amazing to read me saying this. But will expand further. Fascism as an ideology, as a "cast of mind", is very much alive in the Third World, only that it is not where good-willed Leftists look after it.
