No, but I’ve got a lot of experience with retired people on pensions that like to rule their HOA’s with an iron fist. I’ve also got enough experience with people who don’t want people to choose their own pronouns, which isn’t an economic decision.
Fascism isn’t an economic system, but a political system that was one of the first political systems of the modern era to attempt to create an unequal society without a unifying monarch. Inherently, it is the ruling class giving rights and privileges to a minority to allow them greater standing over the rest of the population, usually through the trappings of conservatism.
Feel free to correct me where I’m wrong with that understanding.
Facism is essentially capital abandoning liberalism to defend itself in violent reaction to socialism/threat of socialism.
Fascism is an anti-intellectual movement so there’s not much real “theory” but anti-communism is its bedrock belief.
It terms of economics theres really no difference between it and modern neoliberal capitalism
I don’t actually follow your definition at all. I would say that while fascism is not an econimic system itself, that there is no fascism without capitalism
Fascism isn’t just capital abandoning liberalism, but free market capitalism as well.
The fascist state will destroy capitalist enterprises in the name of the state; a lot of Nazi’s initial expansion was caused by Nazis destroying Jewish capitalist businesses.
If the state is picking the winners of capitalism, it isn’t just capitalism.
Not true, fascism does not abandon markets or capitalism, it destroys all opposition to those things. Crush labor movement, kill and imprison communists, violently impose capitalism and markets on people who don’t want it by force.
Do you have a lot of experience with life in a world where everyone’s “economic needs” are met
No, but I’ve got a lot of experience with retired people on pensions that like to rule their HOA’s with an iron fist. I’ve also got enough experience with people who don’t want people to choose their own pronouns, which isn’t an economic decision.
those people are still living within a capitalist society
But do you think fascists won’t fasch just because there isn’t money in it?
i don’t think you understand how either capitalism or fascism works
It seems that no they don’t know how capitalism or fascism works, but they like it

This isnt accurate.
All capitalist governments “pick winners” within their systems to some degree. That just isn’t an important or relevant issue.
Jewish businesses and their wealth were targeted, but that wasn’t an attack on capitalism and markets - it was a genocide!

politics and economics are just two faces of the same thing. all power relations originate in production.
that’s why it was called “political economy” before liberalism came up with the scam of separating them
