Islamism cannot be fascism because it rejects nationalism and the state model

Evidence

The floating of the pseudo-concept of “Islamofascism” has been central here. There are any number of reasons to consider the idea that there is such a thing as Islamofascism a nonsense. Here are two. First of all, fascism has always been associated with nationalism, but, like global capital, Islamism has no respect for nationality; the first loyalty of the Islamist is to the global Umma. Secondly, fascism is about the State — Islamism has no model of the State, as could be seen in Afghanistan under the Taliban. — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 1435

Categorization

• DEFINE: Defines fascism by nationalism and statism, positioning Islamism (global Umma, stateless) as its opposite.
• XREF: Ties to the RSS-as-fascism debate in the Annihilation of Caste reading list, which also tests the fascism label against a non-state, religious-global movement. — connects to: Islamism and fascism differ on nationalism and the State, making the hybrid near-meaningless; Islamism is not a form of nationalism despite succeeding it.; Islamist fundamentalism rejects the nation state as Marxism rejected it
