"I'm not a Communist, but I agree with the the Communist-Trotskyite theory that Fascism is just the final decadent phase of capitalism. Having trashed the economy and plunged the majority of the population into destitution, the oligarchs and their political minions begin to call for "discipline," "national unity," and "cultural/racial regeneration," a return to the mythical glory days of an imaginary past. Internal and external enemies are identified and the masses are mobilized for collective violence against the imaginary threats. It's all just a bloody distraction to deflect blame from the elites who caused the misery in the first place. One astute observer in the pre-Nazi German government stated that Hitler was hoisted into power by a cabal of Westphalian bankers, Rhineland steel magnates and East-Prussian land barons. With their lackeys in power, the traditional grandees wealth and status are guaranteed by some self-serving Socio-Darwinist ideology and, or naked force. The political structure is simply a hatchet squad for the bosses. If anyone in the movement begins to call for tinkering with established social order, redistribution of wealth etc., they end up like Gregor Strasser, and Ernst Roehm, dead. Not long before the rise of European Fascism, the Robber Baron Jay Gould is supposed to have said that he wasn't afraid of revolution because he could always hire half the working class to murder the other half. Nazis/Fascists can be seen as Gould's paid help in uniform."
