like others have said Max is a decent journalist when he's talking about imperialism, he's just got some dumb blind spots

imo belief or rejection of scientific racism is the main point of difference between fascism and nazism. For fascists every person in the world is like a lump of clay that can be remolded into the image of the national ideal (Italian), whereas Nazis have a clearly identified race hierarchy which is static and can never truly change because national characters are determined by genetics. Italian fascism only became more racist as Mussolini had to rely more and more on the Nazis for their security, and as has already been pointed out, a lot of Italian fascists simply ignored the race stuff altogether.

the more esoteric and spiritualistic the rhetoric gets, like Dugin, the more fascist it actually is. because fascism is a feeling more than a clearly defined intellectual thing. but a big problem for fascists any time they get to wield actual power is the inconvenience of this kind of woo-woo talk or 3rd wayist intellectualism. Spirituality is too disconnected from the lived experience of mass religion, and avant-gardist 3rd wayism is too extreme to fit in with the kind of base reactionary resentment that fascists are tapping into. the genuinely scary kind of fascism isn't Dugin talking about the trve kvlt of Eurasia, it's Ron DeSantis aping all of Trump's mannerisms as a play at making the US christian dominionist.

This is the kind of poo poo that made me wonder why Mussolini and the Japanese would ally with Nazi Germany to begin with. They were so scared of communists or even trade unions to the point where the ruling classes of those two countries would rather—instead of giving their workers healthcare—forge an alliance with a hardcore racist nordicist regime espousing literal race science/biology as justification for mass genocide of all non-Germans. The nazis even began to assassinate high profile non-nazi fascists like Dollfuss as early as 1934.

Like if nazi germany won the war they would have definitely massacred Italy and Japan like they did in the Man in the High Castle

The Italians very nearly didn't ally with Nazi Germany. In fact, Germany was supposed to be Italy's own racial enemy after over a thousand years of domination by the HRE and Austria. A lot of Italian fascists resented the Axis, but Mussolini recognized that Hitler was becoming Europe's top dog and they'd have a better chance of reclaiming the Mediterranean with Nazi help than trying to fight them.

The race stuff was also a contradiction for every other European member of the Axis, but for them the threat of the Soviet Union felt more existential than the Nazis. Germany was already on the cutting edge of industrialization & modernity when the Nazis took over, and the sheer amount of power that came with it ended up creating its own gravity. Fascism coalesced around the Nazis as orbiters.

they're cited a lot by leftists for their work in uncovering Western imperialism and media narratives

"greyzone is infowars for tankies" is aimed at alleging that greyzone leads leftists to engage in conspiratorial thinking, though I don't know if the person who made this image was specifically only ever talking about Max Blumenthal's view on COVID, or something else

"Greyzone publishes left wing conspiracy theories" was a meme long before Max Blumenthal started having weird opinions about covid policy. It's pure smear and always has been.
