I should say that whilst fascism rejected the more cerebral if not ethereal elements of futurism, certainly on a level of remaking cultural society--fascism did selectively(and this is the key word) adopt certain elements of futurism that held an iconoclastic view of the aristocracy, late post-feudal Europe and other things that were associated with all previous political epochs--both the ancien and liberal. There was of course an element of fascism that became friendly with those who supported it--no matter who they were.
