This is a fantastic analysis. It reminds us that labels, especially political labels, cannot capture all the fine details of our political positions.

Fascists of the 1920s and 1930s were socially conservative. Fascists of the 2010s and 2020s are also socially conservative, the difference is that society has moved on from "women belong pregnant and in the kitchen" and "if your skin is a different colour from mine, you belong dead" to treating women and minorities as equals.

The driving force for fascism has not changed: its still being driven by a coalition of political and social elites with big business. Only the positions of the insiders and outsiders have changed.
