Fascist internationalism, marked by contradictions and an Italo-German rivalry, emerged in the 1930s as a counter-reaction to liberal and communist internationalism.

One main argument: "Recurring to the concept of fascism and finding comfort in a nostalgic rebooting of the grand struggles of the past is arguably ill-suited as a strategy in the face of what is a “darkness” of a different kind", meaning a postmodern era of "post-truth" in the 21st century

but also as a weaponized "Kampfbegriff".

Would be interesting to know who (within Trump’s entourage) invited the individual far-right politicians.
Philanthropists funding Nazis? I wrote a research note on Hans Keller, the "parlor Nazi" founder of a Nationalist International, and his links to the Rockefeller Foundation, showing a surprising convergence between liberal and fascist internationalism in the 1930s
