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.
While that may be so, it is a mistake to underestimate ideology as a real motive. The worldview of fascism is determinate, even if its victims du jour may appear arbitrary.
The core of fascist ideology is the logic of capital, taken to its logical conclusions. Centrism radicalized.
