    A lot of far left theory sees fascism as a result of capitalism. To defend the private property from the socialists one needs a group that zealously defends some in-group where the capitalists belong against some outgroup that contains the socialists. Something along those lines

      I don’t see how that holds up when historically capitalists have put their power behind the fight against fascism more often than not.

        They definitely always fought against socialism greatly hindering the fight against fascism

          What do you mean? The fight against communism is well-known because they don’t recognize the validity of the concept of property, hence natural ennemies to capitalists for sure.

          But a lot of the “bourgeoisie” put their capital towards the tyrannical nature of a failing monarchy turning fascist in their methods.
