Great comment! Fascism as it was understood in the early 20's was so complex and evolving. Now we talk about it like it is a system with rules. As your comment shows you know that many early Italian fascists were techno-utopians, socialists, nationalists, industrialists, etc. And it did not end well. I think the lesson for a modern western person is that a movement can seem kind of vague while it is happening, and therefore be idealized by people from very different points of view. But beware because the movement may crystalize into something really terrible.
