I think the writer presents interesting, if perhaps over-intellectualized, viewpoints. However, I don't believe him when he says he cannot find a real definition of Fascism. I think that's deliberate, for if he included conventionally accepted definitions, the rest of his article would be non sequitur. I've always understood it to be a confusion on Patriotism, where people align their beliefs behind the _government_ instead of aligning with the principles of their country. Where principles are misunderstood, or rejected, or under attack -- fascism takes hold. The word certainly has nothing to do with athleticism. In this more conventional meaning, I fail to make the connections that the author makes re: Avatar.
