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...

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.
