I would argue that fascism is the capitalism’s second final form.
Final form is feudalism, as always
I would say fascism is just Capitalism when it needs to put on a mask and do especially brutal acts to protect itself, then blame its sins on fascism, rather than Capitalism. It's like an alter-ego.
The final stage of Capitalism, rather than feudalism, is Imperialism. Feudalism had very specific relations and relied on workers largely producing their own goods like clothing, peasants were relatively self-sufficient and thus paid large rents to their feudal lords. Capitalism relegated the new proletariat to repetitive, small-scale tasks that, when combined with others and new industrial machinery, resulted in vast expansions in commodities produced.
Imperialism is when domestic markets are all "taken," and thus must spread internationally to super-exploit foreign populations. This is self-defeating, though, and provokes war.
It's also helpful to highlight the relationship between imperialism and fascism. Fascism can be described as turning the tactics and violence of imperialism (that are initially reserved for the periphery) inwards, on "undesirable" parts of the imperial core. Usually this follows on the heels of closing imperial horizons.
Yep, the intricacies of fascism definitely cannot be oversimplified without losing some key analysis. Thanks for the addition!
fascism is a tool to promote and prop up capitalism.
Can you compare an economic system to a political regime?
They are both systems that require state oppression abroad and domestically to exploit workers and uphold private property with police and military force
Once more let me remind you what fascism is. It need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt -- it may even wear a dress shirt. Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege.
You comparing additional deaths per year per capita or what?
