>is anti-utopian, anti-emotional-reasoningI don't agree with this. I think the fascist total state, which is made truly democratic by mass participation and where the interests of the national community are pursued by the state, is a utopian idea (albeit one that's mediated by a different, more pessimistic understanding of what a human being is). Maybe you see a capitalist as cold and calculating but I don't see that in fascism at all: what is the nation but a feeling, even if one grounded in blood and history?
I have many unkind things to say about Rand (evil, degenerate, plutocratic Jewess that poisoned the American right) but I will say that I believe Mussolini remained a socialist to the end, just like Bombacci. I think of myself as a socialist and don't think you can be a nationalist without being a socialist as well.
