This a succinct post on the TrueAnon sub about the social base for fascism in the current times:

The current chud awakening helps me understand National Socialism

Right wing nationalist reactionary chuds suddenly get confronted with the contradictions of capitalism when the interests of capital come into direct conflict with the interests of the ideology of reaction, i.e. ideologized racism. In this case as in many others, capitalists wanting to import labor because it’s easier to exploit immigrants than homegrown workers who you actually have to pay well. This leads them very naturally to heavily anti-corporate political positions, but not out of solidarity, or theory, or some kind of post-capitalist vision for society, but just because the big bourgeois machine gets added to the list of globalist conspirators and elite subverters of ‘western civilization’.

It’s a false consciousness that’s easy to mistake for a real one, because they’re not coming to jesus, they’re just finding more insulated ways to dig themselves deeper into reaction by adding a new enemy to the list.

This is another reason why the small bourgeoisie becomes the class nucleus for fascism, because the foil for big capital, rather than working class consciousness, becomes small business consciousness. The paranoid, aggrieved small holding kulaks who are terrified and angry at both the big capitalists above them, threatening to push them out of their own business, and the workers below them threatening to proletarianize them with all their minimum wage agitation, union efforts, and refusal to take shit from employers. They’re in a really bad spot where they can’t survive the same economic shocks the big capitalists can, they lose out no matter who wins, so they become the foundation for national socialist fascism because the dumb chuds who are so close yet so far still think small business is good even if big business is bad, and these small holding yeoman types are exactly the people who go do January 6th and put trump flags on their boats. They become the face of chud anti-corporatism, it’s most active and agitated participants, it’s financiers, it’s electoral backbone, and make sure the movement never actually turns into a working class project because their interests become so entwined with it, and the unprincipled anti-communist chuds in the rank and file don’t have the awareness to challenge that.

I always felt like reactionary socialism was a fundamental contradiction in terms, but now I really see how it happens. It wouldn’t take the term socialism now because we live in the post red-scare, post cold-war west, but it did in the old times because socialism was still the hot new thing that everybody was really excited about so it benefitted the Nazis to put it on the tin. Nonetheless, it’s the exact same process, boneheaded reactionaries stumbling upon the contradictions of capitalism and being forced into opposing big corporate interests but not having the language or understanding to take that to it’s logical conclusion. Instead they just graft it clumsily in a pretty blatantly contradictory way they’re too dumb to realize onto their pre-existing chuddish worldview
