>Fascism is capitalism in decay
What did he mean?
No one knows what he meant, after all he was a subhuman with 80 IQ.
Read Adorno.

I need to defend my ideology at any cost, therefore I shall accuse this new ideology of actually being a subset of the old ideology my ideology opposes.

You mean the cultural marxist?
>all interests, including those of capital, being subservient to the interests of the state is capitalism
Really activates the almonds
He meant that fascism is simply a bourgeois invention that is militantly and ideologically supposed to defended positions of the capital against revolution. When fascism arises it means that capital is so endangered it has to employ literal thugs in power.
Fascists are historically a cannon fodder for the capitalists.

Cultural Marxism doesn't exist. Adorno was a crypto-reactionary showing how fascism was a natural recrudesce of the nature-in-man which had been stripped away by capitalist exploitation of man and nature. Again, if you read Dialectic of Enlightenment, you'll realise that the "degeneracy" and cultural vapidity of our age is an inevitable consequence of liberal-capitalism. Capitalism's rationality, the process of commodification (now also fictionalisation) which utilises all things into quantifiable packets of economic utils, and the democratic nature of free-markets drives culture down to the lowest level. Turn on the television and you see vulgar advertising, with a semi-naked woman dripping BBQ sauce down her chest, while recycled EDM music plays. DO you seriously think that that is because a small Jewish-Marxist elite are conspiring to keep the aryan down? or is it more likely that reducing all areas of life into consumption destroys the ideals of beauty and sublimity, thus alienating man in late-stage capitalism?
I'm actually not a Marxist, but Marx, Bordiga, and Adorno & Horkheimer have some excellent insights into culture, capitalism, and the nature of society.

He mean "I don't understand what fascism and capitalism are".

But that doesn't explain Lenin's quote, in fact it contradicts it.
>>3062939
When capitalism inevitably fucks over the poor people enough they are pissed off and ready to revolt, the fascists take that anger and redirect it from the capitalists and those who are responsible for the poor's material conditions to Immigrants, Jews, Bankers, Or whatever dog whistle is popular at the times

>Cultural Marxism doesn't exist
Yes it does, it's liberalism with pseudo Marxist thought stemming from the critical theory. Of course the actual cultural Marxist movement of the 50's would call the SJW's and "anarcho communists" of today bourgeoisie degenerates.
Beyond dialetic of enlightenment is "the authoritarian personality" which is a key book informing the modern ancoms which asserts that authoritarianism comes for repressed homosexual urges
