It is basically a kind of watered down, denationalised fascism. The first point is an obvious give away, as is the third ('not left, not right, just American' or whatever). The second point is a little more tricky; however, given that fascism was at least somewhat defined by what they saw as progress and regeneration, that could be reconciled into the fascist tent (especially if this kind of fascism was defining itself against the Church and old style capitalism, which is not unrealistic). Teh yoof also gives off a strong whiff of fascism (the Italian fascist anthem was, I believe, called 'the youth'). The last point does, to a certain extent, throw a spanner in the works of this thesis, however, I believe that there are enough defining features of fascism in this ideology for it to be called fascism (at least one of its many, many variants).
