The great irony with dumbs is that the supply and demand issue with racists\nazis\fascists is a direct allegory of a basic capitalist architecture. Shit, we're running out of racists, things seem pretty good. Let's pretend people that aren't racists actually are so we can keep this gravy train rolling

agreed, op. its an important insight that a person's ideology is informed by their material conditions. as you correctly point out, with capitalism failing, material conditions decline and the "supply" of privileges to the privileged classes recedes. these privileged classes then "react" to the loss, creating a "demand" for ideological fascism and nazism, which drives up the "supply" of fascists and nazis.
