Hi, I'm new.
I knew about Fight Club becuase of...politic reasons...is a little difficult to explain but in Italy Fight Club is a cult for fascist movemnts because of the anti-materialist, nichilist, anti-capitalist issues that fight club purposes...and of course also for the exaltation of fight as a way for getting freedom. So, the fight club and the violence becomes a way to fight materialism, consumism and all "precious" things that you think to posses while you become possessed by.

What do you think about this interpretation of fight club?

Actually, I think that the anarchist-black block movements(no state,no property, no money and so on...) can find connections in many themes of the book: never heard of anticapitalist fascism or fascism that nightly blows up banks, malls and corporations(even in Italy).
somebody got fasci-nated by some shaved heads, violence and a pair of black shirts: poor you.
