    Capitalism to fascism in a nutshell

    > be a capitalist state

    > capitalist ruling class cuts public funding, lowers wages to increase profits for themselves

    > resulting lower living conditions makes working class organize to overthrow capitalist rule

    > ruling capitalist class crushes the leftist movements because they harm capitalists

    > some capitalists blame already marginalized people for the problems to scapegoat them and shift the blame

    > fascists rally people around this idea and make up myths about the country being great before these marginalized people got involved

    > fascists are voted into power since socialist movements have been crushed, and not stopped by the ruling capitalist class because capitalists are not harmed

    > country is now a fascist state
