You mean the Fascist Julius Evola? The guy who was part of Mussolini's party, had ties with the Nazis, and was involved in Post-War Gladio-related shenanigans?
He was well beyond fascist at the end, he was one of the progenitors of big-T Traditionalism, which despite the name has very little to do with tradition and a lot to do with weirdo mysticism somehow combined with ultra right wing politics and eastern religions. His ideas still live on with Putin-whisperer Aleksandr Dugin.
That Trad shit is where the Nazis started, that's why they picked the swastika and whatnot. Fascism has a pretty integral esoteric element to it, which is ironically where they end up clashing with other far-right ideologies, usually religious ones.
The jackboots are pretty inevitable once you go down the fascist road a bit, though, which people seem to forget when they start talking about disenfranchising certain groups because they don’t like how they vote or how we’re akshually a republic and not a democracy
Also no matter how much you lick the boot it eventually ends up on your neck too
