"Ideological purity, after all, is for losers and Liberals." -- a point that Robert O. Paxton makes in "The Anatomy of Fascism," (terrific book, by the way) is that fascism has no ideology, nor any sort of principled program.

That's because fascism isn't about ideas, it is about achieving absolute, hegemonic domination.
