One's an economic school of thought, the other a political one, so obviously you can have both at the same time or even working together. Coincidentally corporate business is mostly anti-fascist right now because social diversity and progressiveness is where the money's at

I can only guess you've used one of the words out of context. If it was fascism, I have nfi what the meme is trying to say by linking Superman to capitalism in the same way Homelander is easily linked with fascism.

If the joke instead about fascism, then maybe something positive and relatable to it would make sense. Patriotism is what I think of since Superman loves America, but shows little concern for anyone else and this sentiment could start festering domestically, especially if the love for country becomes ultra-nationalistic.

What a crossover that would be

Homelander V Superman

Snyder's Superman is more insufferable than Homelander

This meme's got the spirit, but not a great visual metaphor

That's so accurate.

And unregulated hyper-capitalism is what happens when communism fails

Yes, which is why it is important to protect communist projects from capitalist backed coups, like the presidential coup that illegally and undemocratically dissolved the USSR

Surely it was a tough pick between using Superman or Captain America in the top panel.
