Fascism is a fear reaction to Liberalism and Socialism.
The Fascism of the 1930s came as a sociological and political knee-jerk reaction to the roaring 20s and the rise of Communism.
Hitler was initially supported by the Catholic Church and Conservatives in Britain and Europe.
The rich and powerful so feared the loss of their money and power that they turned to Fascist dictators to destroy it.
This can also be seen in the reactionary Conservatism after the Liberalism of the 1960s and 1970s.
And in the extremes to which they went to defeat left-wing political ideas.
But the fact remains that their actions were based in fear.
