I included "ethnic supremacist" because, before he imported Nazi ideology, he talked about the supposed interests of the supposed dominant race, but he defined it in a more cultural and "spiritual" manner than the blood quanta, race science, phrenology of the Nazi approach, so the Italian approach more resembled what we today would call ethnicity. While still a chauvinist supremacist and, you know, a fascist, he repeatedly argued against the promotion of "The Jewish Question" early on, though even in those statements there was still a tone of clear antisemitism sometimes, but nonetheless he was not designating Jews as "the enemy" at the time. Then after that he was happy to embrace it because this was one of his many opportunistic stances whether for or against.

My point in saying this is that Noah here is deflecting from the fundamental characteristics of fascism, which are nationalism and anticommunism, though it readily embraces racism when it finds such a thing useful.
