I'm pretty sure that's the difference between anti establishing and anti government. the "establishment" is the established power structure. technically fascists ARE anti establishment in most places. and that's a very good thing.

Are they tho

Republicans are going mask off, Italy is run by fascists again, AfD is at 20%, Putin is invading neighbors and bankrolling white supremacists world wide, Israel's engaging in open genocide, their neighbors wish they could do the same, the second largest party in Sweden was founded by Neo-Nazis...

Don't forget India's BJP/VHP/RSS ecosystem.

that's still only a very small handful of places, though i agree. it's spreading.

Fascists only pretend to be anti establishment their whole thing is preserving capitalism when it enters crisis.

hmm, that feels a bit like splitting hairs. at that point we have to argue whether the establishment is capitalism, or the government. and that just seems like a pedantic argument about semantics that will accomplish nothing. point being, most fascists want to overthrow their current government.

The government is part of the structure of capitalism though. It is an expression of the power of capital.
