It's funny to me how badly alt-right bros misunderstand fascism. What was it that they picked up from their education?

elaborate. Are you sure it's not the people throwing around the "fascist" label who have misunderstood?

Yes, see I call things fascist when the pass Eco's test of Ur-Fascism, which is based on historical analysis of 20th C. fascism.

But then (unlike the alt-right) you've never actually read much of the serious academic literature on fascism, have you?

So what's your take on Ernst Nolte versus Zeev Sternhell?

I admit to not having read them. Most of my study was on the impact of industrialization and how it was leveraged by state authority.

(I am, to clarify, a technologist and tech ethicist, so my studies have deep intersections but I claim no comprehensive breadth)

But we can easily look the work of David Nye on technological empowerment, or just to look at the works of Mosca as primary source material.

Ok, but I'm not sure what that has to do with the alt-right.

You're literally just moving goalposts at this point to distance the alt-right from the negative things that have gotten them called out.
