Okay so you're just being disingenuous then. You think poor material conditions (particularly from wide-scale conflict independent of liberalism) have absolutely no influence on the path a country takes?

i'm saying that if liberalism didn't crush socialist movements post-war then fascism never would have succeeded

Hey, you do know that buddy is referring to what liberalism actually is, right? Liberalism leads to poor material conditions, the entire thing is built to frolick along with capitalism.

Sure, but let's not play ignorant to the role WW1 played in setting the stage for fascism to arise. Things are always more complicated then just "liberalism leads to fascism", especially since theory only exists abstractly as opposed to the smorgasbord of circumstances in reality. I'm in no way denying the existence of that pipeline though.
