Not sure if the takeaway is more that fascists aren't required to make sense, or that social democratic collaboration with capitalists can be easily weaponized against socialism.

In Weimar, the word Socialist was like the word Freedom is now in the United States.
Everyone said they were one, and it never meant anything coherent.
But in the 30s, it was literally impossible to win elections by stanning Capitalism. It had just destroyed the entire global economy.
Fascism's primary goal was promoting a "third way." A way to synthesize anti capitalist politics (in aesthetics anyway) and excise away the left reforms.
the free market died with the great depression imo. we fight against "its not capitalism its corporatism" but all corporations are held up by the state nowadays, fascism's economic policies are just part of capitalism now
