    brilliant comment overall.
    i'd like to bring to discussion, though, the fact that many 20th century theorists have associated fascism to industrial and financial capital, but to me it seems that 21st century fascism is more tightly linked with landowners and agribusiness. if you check voting patterns in Brazil, the US and Italy it seems to corroborate that - at face value it looks like a fight between god hating cosmopolitan globohomos and common folk.

      Industrial capital is backing 21st century fascist movements as well, fossil fuel industry is bankrolling a ton of fashy agitprop. ofc these sectors do not have to be behind capital completely - a lot of bankers in 1920s Germany backed the NSDAP, Jewish bankers obviously didn't. What's relevant here is that fascism also means that crisis exacerbates capitalist competition to the point were members of the bourgeois class eventually just have their fascist allies kill other members of the bourgeois class for their assets.
