I don't know Paxton's work but I know Eco's "Eternal Fascism: Fourteen Ways of Looking at a Blackshirt", also known as "Ur-Fascism". If you know Eco's take, can you tell me of any notable points of disagreement between the piece and Paxton's body of work? From what you have here and elsewhere they would seem to be in both broad and even specific agreement,notably with regard to Fascist ideology's being largely epiphenomenal to Fascist use of power.
