on the positive side, ideal revolutionary conditions will arise alongside worsening material conditions. people just need to be in a position to seize the opportunity.
remember that capitalism in decay is also what breeds fascism, though. every socialist movement must, first and foremost, be an antifascist one. it is absolutely indispensable to avoid that the collapse leads to barbarism instead of socialism.
tbh i think a thorough critique of fascism isn't possible without a thorough crititque of imperialism. when imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism and fascism is capitalism in decay, it usually follows that fascism is imperialism in decay, a stumbling empire trying with ever increasing violence to return to its glory days.
edit: just to make it clear, i'm having american fascism in mind here. i've disengaged as much as possible from the propaganda onslaught surrounding ukraine, so in case you want to argue about that, we should probably do that in a month or so.
