1. I was reading (Lord knows why) Wyndham Lewis' "Left-Wing Over Europe" (1936) a philo-fascist tract arguing on "anti-war" grounds for appeasement & was struck by how much it anticipates ideology of contemporary right-wing populist/nationalists of the Bannon ilk.

5. As far as I know, very few people on the contemporary right read Wyndham Lewis (and certainly not his very toxic 1930s tracts) so fact that the same set of ideas gets replicated today suggests they are structurally necessary (also other avenues of influence than Lewis).

6. I do think we need an intellectual genealogy of the far right which traces the impact the 1930s fascists & fascist fellow travellers had on subsequent generations. As far as I know, no one has written this.
