If you think fascism is a political ideology, you're probably a lost cause.

Fascism is a get-rich-fast scheme.
Always was.

It's a way to super-charge the core idea of the political right wing.

What's that? Duping people into voting in the interests of the ultra-rich.

That's the right wing, through and through. With the media ownership, and the inexplicable reputation for "fiscal responsibility", flying in the face of all the evidence of fiscal recklessness they actually do.

But fascism is super-charging that through hate-mongering:

Getting even relatively poor people to vote for the interests of the ultra-rich, by convincing them that they are in danger from people even more vulnerable than themselves.

That's all there is to fascism. It's not a set of beliefs unless you believe "I will fool these people into giving me power, and then I will sell that power to the rich" is a political belief.

It's not an ideology. It's just a scheme with an associated aesthetic (similar to how AI slop is the chosen aesthetic of online scams).
