A question Kurgan, can Fascism or Fascism like things (not sure if that's an accurate description of the Franco regime) serve as the ideological/religious (I don't really see the difference between the two) glue for a society?

Not him, but modern ideologies make for very weak glue, hence the need for massive state power to maintain cohesion. Ultimately, any worldview that excludes the spiritual and timeless will be subject to the flaws of materiality, that is constant change and mutability.

From what I know of fascism it deifies a folk or race of people and treats the State as a sort of meta/gestalt soul of said people. So more spiritual in a sense than Marxist proper.

Not really. Not in a long-term situation. The difference between ideology and religion is that one is secular the other is based on real spiritual things. I had covered this in detail at my original blog, which will be up in due course, but in essence, today almost all religions are based on either false secular ideolofies or Satanic based spiritual dimensions (real, but not good) eg Hinduism, Islam, Protestantism, etc. Anything secular degrades pretty rapidly after a few generations. Only Catholicism has stood the test of time and even then there are periods of ravaging losses (Nero, Arianism, the current fake Popes, etc)

BTW, you are aware that Rurik is a self-admitted Gnostic Satanist.

No, I am not. If you can put a link to something where he says something along these lines, that would be appreciated.

Here he describes his support for the proto-Gnostic Marcion of Sinope:

He goes into more detail about his beliefs in this sequence:

I don't see he admits any such thing in there. His argument is also fairly deep and as I don't have access to his posts that are available only through the phone app I can't make much of them.

Well, he admits to being a follower of the proto-Gnostic Marcion in the part you can read without a subscription.

Also he provides a more detailed description of his Satanism here:

For some reason, he keeps rearranging his site to make is old metaphysical stuff hard to find.
