I am not sure in which way this is supposed to be a response to what I
wrote. I certainly don't see any factual arguments, only strawmen and empty
claims without supporting evidence.
With regard to the Fascist International:
The best take on the old Fascist International is in Jeffrey M. Bales "The
Darkest Side of Politics", Vol. I., an update of his seminal study "The
'Black' Terrorist International: Neo-fascist Paramilitary Networks and the
Strategy of Tension in Italy, 1968-1974".
As for the new Fascist International: I didn't know that there was a strong
neo-Nazi movement (mainly the Aryan Brotherhood, if I am not mistaken) in
Southern California until I read BE. Some of these Californian neo-Nazis
recently travelled to Ukraine where they were trained by the neo-Nazi Azov
Bataillon (the military outfit sporting the Wolfsangel of the SS), which in
turn receives weapons and training from, amongst others, the US:
"Last month, an unsealed FBI indictment of four American white supremacists
from the Rise Above Movement (RAM) declared that the defendants had trained
with Ukraine’s Azov Battalion, a neo-Nazi militia officially incorporated
into the country’s national guard. The training took place after the white
supremacist gang participated in violent riots in Huntington Beach and
Berkeley, California and Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017."

What you are talking about is a different section of Fascist International
which is much more sympathetic to Russia, e.g. the Rassemblement National or
the AfD or Trump/Bannon. While I cannot help but note that there is a
difference between right-wing populists, many of them proto-fascists and
some of them fascists, and armed neo-Nazis regularly committing war crimes
(e.g. the Aidar Bataillon) in Eastern Ukraine, I despise them both.
