Fascism is simply Capitalism when the Capitalists succeed enough
One is a form of economy, the other is an ideology of societal oppression. Fascist governments have run capitalist, communist, and socialist economies. Historically, more fascist governments have developed from socialist nations than capitalist. That doesn’t make fascism inherently socialist either.
The meme would be more accurate in stating that fascism is a failure of democracy than capitalism.
Fascism is inherently capitalist, the communist "version" is called national communism or national bolshevism
National bolshevism is not communist version of fascism, it's neonazi ideology and it's anticommunist too just trying to coopt the aesthetics.
