    I don’t think democracy needs to exist for fascism to exist.

    The ruling class enforcing the hierarchy accomplishes what Douglas describes.

      OG fascism united with aristocrats, but that system was already dying by the time they came around. It needed liberal democracy to fail so it could exploit its weaknesses. Royalty would never tolerate someone as vulgar as Hitler or Trump otherwise.
