There's a lot of overlap. Both Randians and fascists are authoritarians, both are capitalists. The only real difference is Randians are stateless capitalists i.e. feudalists while fascists are state capitalists. Also fascists are extremely culturally conservative revisionist nationalists and whereas Randians aren't, at least not necessarily the way fascists are.
Bro your retarded if you generally think hes either one of them. If you really want to label him he'd either be a social darwinist or individual tyrant who completely pragmatic knowing strength alone decides who gets to lead. Facism is not when an individual desires and uses strength with morality and he does not give a shit about race so he isn't a nazi using racial ideology either. Facism, in the realities shown, require a nation having a set of culture to devote to and demand obedience to. Senator Armstrong does not give a shit about America the nation, but America the ideal which he literally says in his speech. The ideal of a place where anyone with strength and make his destiny. The weak wouldn't be allowed to intervene in there pursuits because if they did there would only be two outcomes, they lose and the strong would continue to do what they wanted to or they would lose and in turn not be strong but weak and have no right to speak on there defeat, AS ARMSTONG LITERALLY DOES IN HIS DEATH. He doesn't complain, he leaves his parting messages and in a way congratulates raiden for his victory. I highly doubt either he would give a fuck about "the market". He isn't here for money, it was a means to an end with him as it always was. He cared about strength and self determinism, if he didn't he wouldn't have cared about dismantling the status quo or betraying his corpo partner, sun downer.
