I think a reason we’re seeing a real time reshaping of fascism that appears confusing is because fascist leaders are at their core just the deadliest grifters. Their agenda is *still* to violently transfer the assets of others to themselves. They always need to manifest a fashionable enemy to do so.
That’s why Le Pen can say blatant absurdities like she wants to defend Jews from Islam when what she really wants is to further enshrine a false division.
And also, even the most dedicated bigots will have a handful of Jews/Blacks/Queers that they "love," and will work with. They're the good ones. Until they're not. Or until they're not pulling their weight. Le Pen will "defend" Jews until it's no longer profitable.
