Isn't fascism a component of capitalist societies that gets turbo charged when capital finds itself in a state of crises? Sort of a self defense mechanism to keep the "left" from actually making gains among the population?

"Comrades, fascism in power was correctly described by the Thirteenth Plenum of the Executive Committee of the Communist International as the open terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic and most imperialist elements of finance capital."
-- Georgi Dimitrov at the Seventh World Congress of the Communist International

In practice, fascism implies a few things, such as more or less total elimination of labour rights and socialist ideas, the scapegoating and extreme repression of one or more minority groups within the country (and historically in other countries as well), and a bourgeoisie unified in the goal of strengthening and maintaining their control through the power of their perceived nation
