As usual, leaving-out some key history:
Marcus Garvey, a Black African, claimed that HE invented fascism, & Mussolini stole it.
Marcus Garvey wanted segregated North America & Africa, & was willing to work with the KKK to achieve that.
White "history" that systematically leaves-out the nonwhite parts .. isn't good-enough.
Accuracy is better.

I just read about Marcus Garvey and I have absolutely no idea why you are conflating his Black Nationalist views with Fascism. I gave your statement the benefit of the doubt before reading about him, and now I regret that.
Fascism is not some nebulous term. It isn't "working with your enemies." It's a system designed to fully repress the proletariat in favor of capital. It does this in a number of measurable ways. I am truly at a loss for why you brought this up.
Huh, never heard of him.
That’s what the founders of Zionism did as well.
