I've heard numerous times that Fascism is the end result of Capitalism trying to save itself? Is this because the state takes over and privatizes industries?

      This is an excellent post on an excellent question by @CommieElon . Thank you comrades for furthering my understanding of the same question. It's a shame this thread didn't get more action!

    Very surface level answer- capitalism will inevitably collapse on itself, and when it does either the proletariat will sieze power for themselves, or the bourgeois will try to hold on to their power while eliminating any threat to themselves and directing people to look elsewhere for solutions to their problems, this results in fascism

      Great answer. We also hear the corollary axiom that fascism is imperialism turned inward. We’re seeing this too as US hegemony slips.
