I know it always supports big business. And it’s a reactionary force that people in power turn to when things go badly for the workers and they think of revolt.

But fascism also demands genocide and killing of millions of people and that would only hurt the capitalists, no? Because these are people who would otherwise be working and increasing profit used to increase productivity etc etc etc. But if you kill them you reduce the labor force and thus drive up the price of labor, reducing your profits, and thus what you can spend on improving productivity? And other countries which didn’t do so would become more advanced, leaving you behind.

    Fascism is like a rash, an inflammation, on the body of capitalism. It's an attempt to drive off actual threats to capitalism :specter-global: that damages itself in the process.
