One of the facts about fascism that many people don't know or don't understand is that it is not a list of policy proposals. As Robert O. Paxton points out in his book, "The Anatomy of Fascism," fascists have always been happy to eject supposedly key policies from their "platform" if doing so served their real agenda, which is exclusively about achieving absolute, hegemonic power.
Case in point: The GOP didn't even put forth an official platform during their 2020 convention. Their "platform," such as it was, was whatever Dear Leader wanted.
