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.
