Fascism is the ideology birthed out of Colonialist economic exploitation. It really isn’t anything other than that. The things Fascism did, the European empires were already doing to colonized peoples all over the world. The differences between the Italian Fascists, and the Nazis was the Settler Colonial direction the Nazis were heading in. The Italians wanted more colonies. The Nazis wanted to build a nation on land that was already occupied, the solution to that contradiction was to exterminate the current occupants. The same realization was made by the Americans, the same realization has been made by the Zionists.

Discourse on Colonialism by Aimé Césaire points out that the ideology of Hitler has its roots in European excuses for Colonialism.
