Folks really need to consider the major differences between early proto-fascist social movements and fascists consolidated in state power.
Fascist social movements are typified by an apparent ideological lack of a coherent ideology--full of "passionate intensity."

Nazism and Fascism don't seem incoherent to me.
----- Original Message ---- From: Chip Berlet <c.berlet at publiceye.org> And all right-wing populist movements seem incoherent because they are built around anger and rage, but that does not mean they are politically powerless. They increase the amount of scapegoating and demonization in a society. Real targets suffer the consequences.
Fascism is the most militant form of right-wing populism.
