If you think fascism is unique or different from capitalism... Why? What unique differences to capitalism do you see in it?
Fascism is not unique or different from capitalism. It is capitalism converted into a format that allows the highest level of extreme violence to be carried out against its enemies. It occurs when capitalists feel threatened by socialists, at which point it gains their monetary support, media and backing from the bourgeoisie who recognise the need to use ultra-violence to exterminate the revolutionary threat to their existence from the growing red within society. It is not a separate or unique thing to capitalism. It is still capitalism. It is capitalism protecting itself.
We only need to look at the places where fascism was not defeated to see proof of this. The fascists won in Spain and in Chile, they were not defeated like they were in Italy or Germany. What happened there? Did fascism ever become anything unique? No it did not. The fascists maintained and even increased capitalism, the term "privatisation" comes from Hitler himself. Over time in the countries where fascism won, once they defeated the left, exterminated them and their leadership, rendered them inert and no longer a threat to their bourgeoisie, these countries simply morphed back into liberalism which is a more efficient form of exploitation and extraction. Once the ultra violence was no longer required they morph back into "friendly" versions.
You've probably realised yourself that liberal definitions of fascism always fail to be very good or definitive because fascism comes in different styles depending on the nation it finds itself within. This is because the details of fascism are not the point, the ultra-violence that fascism enables is the point. Everything else is irrelevant and can differ from country to country to country, it will be whatever it needs to be to succeed, but it will always have 2 things - the ability to perform ultra-violence to its enemies, and its biggest enemy is socialists. These 2 things are because killing the left is the goal, because it exists as a reaction to us. We call them reactionaries for a reason.
This is the only definition of fascism that you will find accurately applies to every version of it, no matter where it appears. The liberal definitions fail because they do not want to admit that the problem creating fascism is that it is capitalism defending itself from socialists.
