Fascism <still> is capitalism's last line of defense. That's why its key supporters are establishment conservatives, wealthy industrialists and corporations. Nothing has changed...

@stevep44 Ooof. I think Fascism is corruption of Capitalism, it's government-backed rent seeking. We need a new term. I think constrained capitalism is a reasonable economic system that can help lift all the boats. The crony capitalism, with all the lobbyists working to create rules and barriers for other entrants and competitors, is where we started sliding to fascism (Intuit and HR Block and tax prep being a recent example). ...and then there's the racist, bigoted assholes.Two dominos of many.
@scottlink Fascism, to me, is capitalism taken to its extreme.
