Neoliberalism and the worship of wealth it generates among the upper classes, on the other hand, can cause fascism - as government works less for the people and more for “the interests”, people seek a way of taking “the interests” down a peg. “The interests” respond to this by accusing a random minority of being “the interests”, and redirecting public anger against that minority. In Europe right now, it’s immigrants.

Nobody can guarantee “never again.” The benefit of socialism is that he getting people invested in protecting their personal and collective rights, they’re equally incentivized to protect their neighbors’ rights. It’s infinitely better than alternatives.

The contradictions within capitalism produce fascism. Any capitalist ideology is a fragile existence trying and failing to prevent the inherent contradictions from making it collapse in on itself. Fascism is what happens when most avenues have been exhausted. It is a place liberalism will return to repeatedly unless it can co-opt some socialist principles and stave off the contradictions for however much longer. That’s what FDR did and what the DSA wants to do now.
