Fascism is the fasces, the shared class interest between the petite bourgeoisie and the bourgeoisie. Logically, the proletariat were targets of false consciousness, unlike the petite bourgeoisie who were actually fulfilling a class interest.
|
Let's not pretend workers haven't fallen foul to fascism either. Its entire ideology is based on divide and conquer tactics, eventually uniting the so called "good, hard workers of the nation" in hating immigrants. Fascists use an extreme form of right-wing populism, full of contradictions, that attracts all classes to vote for them, but is really just another love-child of the upper bourgeoisie's interests and the militarist ultra-nationalist retards. |
Short term, yes, just like workers were given short-term benefits but in the long term they'd be swallowed by corporatist movements. To say the petty bourgeois classes were aware of the dangers of fascism is pretty stretched. They were and still are as ignorant (and I don't mean that in an offensive way) as the working classes ie not class conscious, not aware of their powerlessness, blinded into believing that fascists will solve their problems. If you look at far right parties like FN in France that are now using immigration as their platform for some kind of fascist super-state, their policies are destructive to small businesses and petty bourgeois, but they still spout out enough false promises to get votes from them. |
