To me, that work would still be Fascist fantasy even if it was written in 1780. ;)

On a technical level, it couldn't have been, because Fascism is an actual political movement. But *repeating* the story *now*, with the context we have, makes it so.

To some extent, you have to look at the intent of the author, I think, because of hindsight's clarity — such an author might not have realized the implications of what they were saying.

But editors, publishers, readers, and enthusiasts of such a piece of fiction now, post 1930s, we don't have that excuse. Because hindsight is 20/20, and we can see what happened.
