    Fascism is capitalism when the capitalist class gets too successful, as soon as the capitalists realize they can establish fascism they always do.

      Not quite. Fascism occurs when disparity rises, the petite bourgeoisie are being proletarianized, and collaborates with the bourgeoisie against rising class awareness and leftism among the Proletariat and Lumpenproletariat. It isn’t a symptom of success, but a defense mechanism.

        Yet capitalism “failing” somehow consistently happens in every capitalist economy, at this point its basically a feature of capitalism.

          Yes. Capitalism is unsustainable, and naturally trends towards disparity and Imperialism.

            Yet what I find extremely intriguing is that the capitalist class profits immensely when capitalism decays and therefore actively contributes towards its downfall. Therefore in a sence fascism is when the capitalist class is too successful and when nobody pushes back against their decay and corruption.

              People absolutely push back, which is why fascism happens. It’s a defense mechanism against it.

              I suggest reading the first chapter of Blackshirts and Reds, it explains fascism and its origins.
