    Capitalism is exactly the basis of fascism. Fascism can’t happen without it.

      Strongly hierarchical militaristic authoritarian control predates capitalism. Hell it predates the invention of money.

      There’s a good chance that money was invented to help raise armies.

      If anything, I’d say fascism is the basis for capitalism, not the other way round.

        You’re right, but not all hierarchical militaristic control is fascism.

      This makes no sense whatsoever.

        Every fascist movement is funded and organized by the capitalist class. They are not grassroots movements, they are false revolutions that maintain the capitalists’ position of power. The January 6th riot/insurrection didn’t just magically appear, it was planned and it was funded in the millions of dollars.

      Might be the dumbest thing I’ve read today.

      But well, I bite. Pls elaborate why an open market enables fascism.

        Open market has nothing to do with capitalism. Both communism and socialism can have open markets, as well as feudalism and mercantilism.

        To answer the underlying question, fascism is the combination of state and corporate power, according to the father of fascism.
