        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

        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
