What's it all about, then? I didn't read Marvel Boy and have little desire to, but I am curious about this evocative little phrase. Is there a "Program for Zen Fascism" out there? Can someone venture one?

Didn't someone attempt a definition along the lines of a Zen Fascist takes complete control of your life because they genuinely do know whats best for you?

Nah, it has to do with non-attachment of the ego. The Self, once illuminated, realizes its connection to all life. That's Buddhism.
If you subsume others into a mass where the individual is not valued over the group, that's fascism.

How about Holographic Zen Fascism? We are all fragments of the whole, each capable of containing the whole?

.. what if a whole buncha zen monks all lose their ego through transcendental meditation at the same time, the resulting mass of humans all connected into one being could comprise a single zen fascist ...
Johnny's seen this happen once in Laos, & lemme tellya, these boys are as Zen as hell & with all individuality subsumed into the one, they'll kick your ass clear off the wheel & into the middle of the next cycle of time...
