Too many ppl seeing this as boomerist “dems r da real fascists” and not seeing lands critique of central planning aka “top-down platonic-fascist” sys. For land I feel that the spectrum is divided between centralization on one end and decentralization and intelligence on the other

Its cybernetics all the way down with Land. "Fascism" is just the 20th century modern decription of a negative feedback thermostat as a political system. Like you said, top-down, highly centralized, stratified systems of control.

Land's writing on the subject matter is pretty clear, and offers a very simple and insightful reading of 20th century history. It puts aside aesthetic considerations, which most writers on modern political movements are obsessed about, and goes to the core of the issue.

This is why land always appealed to me. He does away with moral posturing and analyzes political organs as they exist functionally. I forget the particular essay but when I read FN him describing government as a closed thermodynamic system really shifted my paradigm.
