and actually discussed fascism?

Fascism is, essentially, a religion where all are subsumed to the collective which is subsumed to the State. The state and the collective are one and indistinguishable. No classes, no class struggle as with communism, everyone equal and working as part of one organism, i.e., the State, for the health and integrity of it and all of it's parts. Basically, the ultimate hive mind.
