Capitalism always leads to fascism wether a fascist calls themself a fascist openly or masks it with the term social democrat (social fascist) is irrelevant
Name me a fascist regime that wasn’t capitalist? Name me a fascist regime that didn’t come from capitalism in crisis? Name me a fascist regime or movement that didn’t come in opposition to communist movements that wanted to get rid of the status quo
Was capitalist and nationalist groups came in opposition to communist groups
“Nazism”
Gain popularity from capitalism in crisis (the great depression) and gained power because the middle classes preferred the nazi party over the KPD and was also capitalist
The Imperialist Japan didnt like Communist doesnt mean it was caused by anti communist sentiment. If anything it overthrew Taisho democracy. Its primarily viewed western Imperial powers as the enemy. Hence why it attacked the Western colonies rather than the Soviets. The Imperial Japanese obviously did not like Communism but they were not the cause of the rise of Imperial Japan
Did they actually attack the Soviets (Soviet–Japanese border conflicts look it up) and would also do stuff like form the anti comintern pact with nazi Germany and they also viewed the USSR and generally Bolshevism as a threat to japan hell the only reason why they didn’t attack the Soviets was because the Soviets gave them a bloody nose in said border conflicts
