Hm, the fascism discussion seems to be pointing to an argument I've been hearing recently among the neo-reactionary people, that the myth of WWII (in the sense of "unifying narrative", like the myth of George Washington: so, discussing less about the actual truth (or falsehood) but the narrative emphasis: the Story of George Washington focuses on him willingly stepping down from power when he didn't have to, for example, rather than something else) basically completely neutered the right broadly, because a lot of good ideas got lumped in with fascism and the baby got thrown out with the bathwater.
Some of it was clearly communist subversion (communists obviously want to make everything they don't like fascism, and have done so since Fascism was a thing). There would have been some that was simple "Hitler drank water, so water is bad" logic: the Nazis had Socialist and some right wing polcies, especially early on when they had much more of an actual coalition of "everyone who isn't a communist" and thus had to do some policies to appease the church and old aristocratic people, and deliver on some campain promises to create a non-communist subverted country and beat down some of the degeneracy of the Weimar days.
I think the shortest summary of the argument I've heard is that the right wielding power has been effectively banned, leaving the only allowable right wing political position to be libertarianism, which amounts to mewing at the communists to please not crush us so hard. That at least seems to be the summary of the growing reactionary position, of the "Cathulu always swims left" position.
I'm not sure if I've actually seen the argument fully layed out though, but I do think I've been seeing it arround more.
