    Fascist ideology is and isn't centered about ethnic identity. To think that mistakes both the wish to destroy others and thus be a superior to others as well as the material base of fascism as its real drivers. That something is part of the core ideas doesn't mean it is a driver. For fascists it doesn't matter that everyone is ethnically the same, they will construct their scape goats anyhow. In the example of Germany they used lingering antisemitism, they used extermination to secure their power, it is about the function of that fascism rotates. It isn't about being "ethnically" unified, it is about exterminating the other.

      A key characteristic behind the rise of fascism was the long held desire to make every single member of their nation into their own mini aristocrat of the petite bourgeois. Settler colonialism and fascism are often inexorability linked.

      The neoliberal project is a rejection of direct intervention and flashpoint imperialism, the neoliberal version of imperialism is done entirely through legal codes and is accessable not just to the citizenry of a single nation but the entire global bourgeois.
