The vast majority of people into occultism and esotericism are not fascist in any way, or at least no more so than anyone else. It is just that there are certain types of occultism that fascists tend to be drawn to, and of course the well-known fascination of Hitler with the occult (and if Hitler had played with Legos, no one would be saying "Legos and fascism are adjacent"). And of course there is all sorts of misunderstanding of occult and esoteric doctrines, twisting them to fit fascist ideology.And of course it should be mention that occultism and esotericism are huge fields, with an enormous range, to the point that connecting them to fascism is not unlike connecting philosophy or religion to fascism. It is just too broad, so that the connection is essentially meaningless.</blockquote>
