It's a sub-genre of science-fiction / fantasy - like "Steam Punk."

But she also compared it to "The Fountainhead". Ayn Rand was atheistic-libertarian, damned near the opposite of the nonsensical term "fascist medievalism".

I'm not defending the validity of Kael's claim that Eastwood's film reflected "fascist medievalism." I'm only refuting qualifying your claim that "fascist medievalism" didn't exist; it does or could exist - as a literary sub-genre.
