A. James Gregor — the Berkeley professor who made a career arguing fascism was really just "developmental dictatorship": late-modernizing nations doing what they had to do, nothing to see here.

Not named in transcribed streams, so no words put in Haz's mouth. But the Gregor question is live in everything the movement debates: is China "fascist"? Was Nazi Germany anti-capitalist? (Vampire economy) Is patriotic socialism red-brown entryism? Gregor's framework says all developmental states are the same animal. The Marxist answer is no: fascism preserved capital's command and murdered the workers' movement; socialism abolished capital's command and raised the workers to rule. Whatever the deformations, the class content is the difference — and Gregor's framework exists precisely to blur it (Nazi-Maoism, Red-Fascism).
