The stuff where he talks about he is the way to revolution, just get behind me, etc. That seems slightly fascistic to me.

Like I said, I would personally see to that Marshall was lavished with a lifetime supply of hummers, that is how much I love the vid. It was only a throwaway observation pointing to a rupture in the narrative. What do I know. I think I must have asked Ken and the rest of the Pulp and BAD Subjects gang about 10 bizillion times how they could say a film was fascistic. Never got an answer I understood--though I do agree with my mentor's analysis of Batman.
