What are the best introductions to fascism and fascist philosophy? Fascist in the broad sense, or conservative revolution if you prefer

I am reading Kerry Bolton's Thinkers and Artists of the Right, but I want something that goes deeper into the common worldview shared by people like Ezra Pound, Ernst Junger, Werner Sombart, Carl Schmitt, and so on. Something that captures it at a spiritual level and doesn't pull any punches.

No such thing, it's a specific type of government and value system. For that Giovanni Gentile and Mussolini himself, I'd say. Work from there. Evola's "Fascism viewed from the right" is interesting too.

'Fascism' is in-fact very broad. An unwittingly neoliberal person would refer to the ideals of Ernst Junger as 'Fascist' (Nazi, probably). Monarchism and Catholic reaction would be 'Fascist'. Konrad Adenauer would be 'Fascist' if not for the rubber stamp of approval from the USA. That's how distorted the political terminology is.

Forget 'Fascist'. You're better off just reading the Forbidden Texts you're told are "outdated" or "dangerous". Read Mein Kampf. Read Storm of Steel, Imperium, Seige, Industrial Society And Its Future, The Fourth Political Theory, Decline of The West, The Russian Revolution, God And The State, Rules For Radicals, MiniManual of the Urban Guerrilla. Read the Silmarillion if it suites you. The point being that no "ideology" in particular is necessary to fight those things we ally ourselves with the word "Fascist" in order to oppose. These seemingly-disjointed works foster a common mentality which is absolutely hostile to the evil we encounter, and arms us with ideas of opposition to that evil, and the knowledge that active violent resistance to that evil is just and necessary.

Certain things need to be established first the form the axioms and context where fascism makes sense. You should fully understand HBD before you start reading fascist literature to truly understand the ideology. I recommend just reading through the alt-hype reader instead of things like The Bell Curve, the alt-hype reader is more focused, more recent, and covers a wide range of topics.

Ideology is a form of propaganda (which isn't a bad thing), it's a way to simplify political thought so that people who aren't all to smart and who don't have all that much time to read complex books can follow along. After WW2 the ideology of fascism is useless because it is no longer useful in rhetoric, but the ideas live on and will manifest under a different "ideology" this time.
