[Marxism] Fascist intellectuals?

        But, Sternhell, in *The Birth of Fascist Ideology* and elsewhere,
specifically denies a fascist pedigree to the Nazis ("Fascism can in no way
be identified with Nazism") because of the latter's racial component (i.e.,
biological determinism).   This, according to Sternhell, played the
preponderent role in shaping its ideology, not anti-bourgeois nationalism or
the struggle against Communism.   And he (and I) would ask: what ideologies 
        are not "specifically shaped by economics"?

^^^^^^
CB; The Nazis were infamous demogogues , also.  Their words and ideology may
have emphasized racism over anti-Communism, but their actions were
objectively just as anti-Communist as racist, given the enormous war they
waged on the Soviet Union. That war also reveals how fundamentally
pro-imperialist, anti-working class the Nazis were. The eventual fall of the
SU can be attributed in large part to the Nazi attack, even though many
years later.

If you ask what ideologies are not specifically shaped by economics, and you
say that Nazism was preponderantly shaped by racist ideology, are you saying
that Nazism was not specifically shaped by economics ?
