Paxton and Gregor are both trying to create their own version of fascism by picking and choosing different thinkers based on their personal biases. Paxton dismisses anything related to economics as being a load of smoke and mirrors, and Gregor writes off Marinetti and Evola as lunatics. Both try to emphasize the importance of their favored thinkers by linking them to Mussolini, but neither focus on the man himself.
If you want to understand fascism read what Mussolini wrote and look into secondary sources on the actual policies of the Italian government between 1922 and 1943. There's way too much cherrypicking when academics try to summarize fascism in a list of bullet points.
