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
You’re wrong. I’m not going to elaborate any further because i feel you have taken the discussion to gross and unconscionable place.
You seem to care more about the violation of “free markets” that don’t and have never existed, than the pointless eradication of millions of human lives.
That is just wildly incorrect. Fascism does not make the promise to put free markets under state control, more importantly, none of the fascist societies put free markets under state control.
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.

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!

All i hear at this point is

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
