To add, Fascism is right wing opportunists who are fed up by the current state of affairs and coup the government, either militarily, via politics, using direct violence, or a mixture of those. They garner populist support, sometimes creating false narratives to give a sense of a war against "the powers that be". The appeal of populist rhetoric is that it identifies and vocalizes worker anguish, and identifies an idealized and abstract source of the problem (jews, browns, weakness, etc) and proposes a "simple" solution (sometimes the solution is just "replace them with me and I'll fix everything, boys", other times it's "brown = bad, deport the browns"). Although this "simple" solution might not be practical at all, proles internalize the rhetoric, and like a lens, see their fantasy being played in front of their eyes every day. For example, seeing the Jews' influence everywhere, or seeing weakness (in the form of corruption, media, etc), seeing an ad in Spanish on the TV.

Their hold over power is dependent on control of the state apparatus (military, police, etc) and support or control (coerced support) of the bourgeoisie.
Policy-wise, fascism is extremely ad-hoc, with primary goals being economic growth. This leads to anti-worker policies, war, reduction of the welfare state, and overt and explicit "crony capitalism". It's ad-hoc, economic focused agenda, inevitably clashes with their worker-populist rhetoric and causes contradiction, which is suppressed via periodic concessions, violent repression, propaganda, and turning a large portion of the citizenry into part of the government (police apparatus, among other class traitor jobs). As such, fascism inevitably leads to a police state and reduced quality of life for workers.

The guy only wrote one and it was garbage. Read Stalin instead.

I personally like Ioseb Jughashvili.
