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 Timothy Snyder’s thesis - fascists are grifters and the key to understanding fascist “policy” is that they latch onto whatever’s popular at the moment.
The only Fascist agenda is "power", and their only real policy narrative is "[the enemy] is already here, and you need to give us the power to defeat them"
