fascism is a variety of collectivism
Every society is a collective. Fascist societies maintain their collective structure by emotional, psychological, and physically destructive methods. In any legitimate anarchist collective society if you don't fit somewhere, that's ok... You don't have to. What Ben Morea of Up Against the Wall (Motherfuckers) said about the Situationists and other anarchist cells for example:
/In 1966 Black Mask magazine cited the Situationist International as a group moving in a similar direction to yourselves calling as they were for "the revolution of everyday life" and the abolition 'He may be a real contender for this position should he abandon his supposed obediance to white liberal doctrine of non-violence ... and embrace black nationalism' ... 'Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential trouble-makers ... And neutralize them, neutralize them, neutralize them'of art as a separate, specialized activity. However in late 1967 the SI expelled three of its British members for having supported "a certain Ben Morea, publisher of the bulletin Black Mask." What was the source of friction between the groups and to what extent were you ever linked?/
Ben: The Situationists and I never saw eye to eye. I thought that they were extremely doctrinaire and limited. The Situationists seemed to excommunicate more people than they kept. There was never really any connection between our groups and theirs.
Ben: A tremendous number of people came through New York and spent time with us around the time that The Family began. They included some UK Situationists who became the King Mob group, members of the Zenga-Kuren from Japan, Jean Jacques Leibel who was one of the leaders in the `68 uprising in Paris and also some Provos from Holland. All of these groups overlapped with our approach in one way or another...
https://libcom.org/history/against-wall-motherfucker-interview-ben-morea You don't hear this sort of thing from intrinsically Fascist formations on the left like the SWP or Revolutionary Workers Party, they're too busy snitching each other off to the police or engaging in informant/provocateur activities themselves. -- RR 'Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential trouble-makers ...
