Is there anyone out there who is either working on or knows of anyone
working on theorizing a non-historicized model of FAScism?

Ian C. Dengler.

1) most definitions of fascism imply a synchronic model.
2) fascism, as the assumption of improper deontic recursion, applies by
degree to all forms of undesirable authority.
3) if you were to reverse Kant's categorical imperative, or von Wright'
deontic goodness model, you would have a non-'historicized' definition.
4) however, fascism has further restrictions: it is improper authority
restricted to community decision making, and typically is further
restricted to exclude most religious obligation.
5) thus, fascism is a subsection of the negative, or improper half of an
all possible worlds model, and can be so graphed on a matrix.
6) however, it is best to find entries matching all the definitions of
fascism, broad or narrow, as, in the end, fascism is just the incorrect
application of necessity.
