Abstract This article theorises the contemporary convergence of neoliberal and fascist principles by examining the thought of political actors in the 1930s and 1940s who were active in both neoliberal and fascist organisations. I suggest that a sympathy for fascism formed a minor but significant strand of early neoliberal thought, and that unpacking the logics that led particular thinkers and political actors to believe that fascism was compatible with neoliberalism can shed light on the contemporary political moment. Based on my reading of early ‘neoliberal fascists’, I theorise three points of convergence. The first was a belief that socialism had to be opposed by all possible means, including violence and the repression of popular democracy. The second was a racialized understanding of the underpinnings of the market economy, leading to an acceptance of the necessity of racial exclusion. Thirdly, both fascist and neoliberal thinkers believed that patriarchy was a necessary feature for the reproduction of capitalism, and hence that traditional gender roles had to be preserved against pressures for social change. In theorising this convergence, I also gesture to how the overlap of neoliberalism and fascism can be witnessed in the contemporary milieu, with a focus on the libertarian Mises Institute.

本文通过考察20世纪30年代和40年代活跃于新自由主义和法西斯主义组织中的政治行动者的思想，对新自由主义和法西斯主义原则的当代趋同进行了理论化。我认为，对法西斯主义的同情形成了早期新自由主义思想中一个次要但重要的部分，而揭示导致某些思想家和政治行动者相信法西斯主义与新自由主义相容的逻辑，可以为当代政治时刻提供启示。根据我对早期“新自由主义法西斯主义者”的阅读，我提出了三个趋同点。第一个是相信社会主义必须用一切可能的手段来反对，包括暴力和对大众民主的镇压。第二个是对市场经济基础的种族化理解，导致接受种族排斥的必要性。第三，法西斯主义和新自由主义思想家都认为，父权制是资本主义再生产的必要特征，因此，传统的性别角色必须保留下来，以应对社会变革的压力。在理论化这种趋同的过程中，我也指出了新自由主义和法西斯主义的重叠在当代环境中是如何被见证的，重点是自由主义的米塞斯研究所。
