This is a really interesting point. But the fascist art is always historic "better times" shit, depicting an old world in a utopian way (without people in it). It's never the future.
This isn't true. Even aside from Italian futurism, there is also art of places like "Germania," the proposed super-city that some Nazis dreamed of making the capitol of the conquered world.
Counterpoint: Italian futurism. Though I don't think drawing a futuristic city with lots of trees is fascist, I think it's pining for more green spaces. Or for built environments to be aesthetically more pleasant than a sea of asphalt.
Italian futurism preceded fascism, though but only by a few years and was co-opted and later marginalized. Mussolini was kind of riding Futurism's coattails and then vice versa as fascism developed more. An interesting example though.
Futurism and ecomodernism were/are both pretty associated with the furthest right.
