Fascism is weirdly hierarchical ideologically (it create new hierarchies that did not exist before, sometimes destroying old ones), but also polycratic and feudalistic.

It sold image of organization and preparedness, but in fact was an organized mess where almost everyone was politicking at his level, to climb higher.

That's a tidbit i learned from "Libres d'obéir : le management, du nazisme à la RFA" (i don't know if you can find it in english though)
