Why is Fascism such a  prominent feature, theme, trope, system,
philosophy ... in what Pynchon wrote? 

For example, what is the story of Kurt Mondaugen doing in a (published
1960's) novel like V.?

What has fascism to do with Oedipa Mass?  What are Fascism and Nazism
doing in a novel set in 1960's America? 

If GR is historically/contextually 1960s-early 70s--Vietnam) why all the
fascism in that novel? 

Why all that fascism in VL? 

Any fascism in M&D?
