Fascism is weirdly hierarchical ideologically (it create new hierarchies that did not exist before, sometimes destroying old ones), but also polycratic and feudalistic.
It sold image of organization and preparedness, but in fact was an organized mess where almost everyone was politicking at his level, to climb higher.
That's a tidbit i learned from "Libres d'obéir : le management, du nazisme à la RFA" (i don't know if you can find it in english though)

- mikrl 2y ago>where almost everyone was politicking at his level, to climb higher This is one of the factors, I consider to be part of this doctrine. The willingness to subvert or destroy an existing power structure (democracy, monarchy, etc) in favour of autocracy and at-all-costs acquisition or consolidation of power. Another factor is murderous disdain towards the out-group, and the unfavourable side of the strong-weak, virtuous-degenerate axes.
