No, we disagree with your claim of ahistoricism. Firstly, we should collect various definitions from dictionaries. This one is a two-part definition that includes a nationalism, a nationalism that by default must mean each branch (each individual) that comprises a bundle:My definition gets to the heart of the problem.
the revised defintion tries to equate fascism with nationalism, and that's not true anymore.
the most virulent and destructive fascism is internationalist in nature in -current year-.
'fascism. 1. A philosophy or system of government that advocates or exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with an ideology of belligerant nationalism.
2. Capital F. The government system of Italy under Benito Mussolini from 1922-1943. Ital. fascismo, from fascio 'bundle, group, assemblage,' Lat. fascis 'bundle.'

There is no philosophy without individual belief. There is no nationalism without individual belief. This is akin to 2024 Trump once again playing the religious card to attract christian voters as their avatar.
