6. There's a problem with that kind of analysis.
It removes the agency from the people in those movements by assuming that they're pawns of some large plot. There are genuine right-wingers out there, and some of them genuinely want a military coup. Claiming that this is some sort of power-grab (on whose part?) makes the same error that traditional Marxist analyses of fascism make - removing the element of human subjectivity and reducing everything to more or less pre-ordained actions.
