Fascism is simply Capitalism when the Capitalists succeed enough
Not entirely.
Germany wasn't having a very successful economy when Nazism started.
Nor did Italy or Spain.
In fact, fascism often gains support from middle class desperation, with the blessing of the booj who prefer it over communism (which tends to rise from the lower classes during similar times of desperation)
