Fascism is Capitalism's immune system, activated when the wealth gap gets too large.
Activated when the people get's too aware of the exploitation and begins fighting back
Maybe we shouldn't be using an economic system whose immune system has historically lead to genocide, especially in an age where nukes are now a thing.
Which makes it... Larger?
If it's protecting capitalism, wouldn't you mean when the wealth gap is too small? As in it is a driving force of the wealth gap?
No, as the Petite Bourgeoisie are proletarianized by the formation of Monopoly Capitalism, the Petite Bourgeoisie aligns with the Bourgeoisie against the Proletariat, who at the time gain class consciousness and are increasingly sympathetic to Socialism and Communism. Fascism is a defense mechanism against Communism.
