    Trying to think of that one time fascism was economically beneficial to capitalists… Nope. I can’t recall one.

    Edit: Oh, wait. If you were supplying a side against fascism, it’s always been very beneficial. I know that’s in contrast to the meme, but supports your point in a “round peg; square hole” kinda way.

        You…literally just linked a list of suppliers to a regime. Which, of course, had to exist in order for the regime to be sustained. Which of course lost supply as the sustainability diminished.

        Do you know how many companies were passive or against it? It’s a little more… Quite a bit more. Millions(?) more. You’ve essentially just tried to correlated registered businesses with the entire economic school of Capitalism. “If it’s a registered business, it’s Capitalism, huuur.”

        Come on, I can think of better counter-points than that.

          Wait, did you think people were saying that the Nazis were for every Capitalist on the planet? No, we were talking about Nazi Germany and some Western companies.

          You’ve fundamentally misunderstood what everyone was talking about.

            Superman, Homelander, and fascism on the rise in the leading capitalism nation?

            What did you think it was about?

              Fascism has always been beneficial for Capitalists, because it was always extremely profitable, the entire point of fascism. Simple.

    • Trying to think of that one time fascism was economically beneficial to capitalists… Nope. I can’t recall one.

      Almost all fascist politicians were supported by local elites who thought they could control them. Sometimes they could; sometimes the fascists got too strong to be controlled.

        That’s the general recipe of ultra-nationalistic fascism, yes. You’re not making much of a point and you’re also disregarding all the other instances of fascism.

        A common thread being control, some times that can be through a local economical channel. That’s not immediately “Capitalism” and actually quite unrelated.
