The REAL trouble with "intellectual" treatments of fascism is that they're all Catholic so they're radioactive to the usual fedora tipper who calls himself a fascist these days.

Don't forget that the "third position" was literally the Church's official political position until after World War 2. They tried to sweep all that under the rug with Vatican 2, probably due to infiltration by the CIA, but some of us haven't forgotten.
