After reading your comment, I have come across this: https://redsails.org/really-existing-fascism

It says:

  • Nietzche is to fascism and liberalism what Karl Marx is to communism
  • It is confusing to think of fascism as the death rattle of capitalism in decay. Fascism and liberalism coexist. Fascism is based on what Marx called "primitive accumulation", which is violent expropriation. Liberalism is based on (superficially) voluntary exploitation of surplus-value. Liberalism is more common in the empire core, while fascism is more common in the perifery.

The poor summary above is meant to entice you to read the article. Please do! And then post it on Lemmy for we to discuss. Please message me when you do.

You said liberalism is the ideological supersyrucyure of capitalism, as if it was the only one. But there is also fascism, right? Were you imprecise, or am I missing something?
