I think this article, though comendable, misses some very disturbing aspects about the character of modern fascism, not least, that arguably the biggest fascist threat doesn't come from Trump, who really doesn't have an ideology at all; but from somewhere else entirely, from 'liberal fascism' which is far more subtle than Trump in promoting the central tenets of modern fascism, like the rise of what Mussolini called the 'corporate state', the merging of the state apparatus, with the military, the mass media and the giant corporations.
