I find nothing brilliant or humane about Joseph Boyden's novels. They're very violent and take almost a joy in pain and suffering. They also employ a great many racial stereotypes which he wouldn't have gotten away with had he been honest about being white.

I'm also confused by the term "Left wing fascism". Fascism is not leftwing. And Nazism wasn't leftwing either, despite the word "socialism" being part of the party's name. Both Mussolini and Hitler were anti-left, anti-Marxist, anti-union, and very socially conservative.
