This might be true, if only there were A marxist analysis of fascism. There
are more of them than fourth internationals, and thats a lot. ;-)

But that is a semantic difference, I belive:

I agree with what I think you mean, which is analysis that points
(correctly) towards fascism as an extreme expression of industrial
imperialism, in other words, as a latent feature of "late" capitalism.

They are not specifically attacking the "marxist" analysis of fascism, but
the anti-capitalist analysis of fascism in general, because liberal
capitalists don't like to be reminded that Hitler belonged to their camp and
not ours.

(I believe this is the root for all the "blame stalin" stuff, its a way of
saying "we might have Hitler, but you people have Stalin". Which is why I
get so mad at trots who still retain the Stalin question as central to their
politics.)
