    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
