Yes. Capitalism is unsustainable, and naturally trends towards disparity and Imperialism.

Yet what I find extremely intriguing is that the capitalist class profits immensely when capitalism decays and therefore actively contributes towards its downfall. Therefore in a sence fascism is when the capitalist class is too successful and when nobody pushes back against their decay and corruption.

People absolutely push back, which is why fascism happens. It's a defense mechanism against it.

I suggest reading the first chapter of Blackshirts and Reds, it explains fascism and its origins.
