Fascism is the violent, merciless face of capital it reveals when it takes off its liberal mask. It's when property relations have decayed and are in crisis due to the unsustainability of capitalism, and the state needs to violently assert itself. It comes from the small business owners that are most at risk of becoming working class during these crisis, who then gang up on marginalized groups and working class organizations to protect and affirm themselves.
