    An ultranationalistic authoritarian conservative government built around a failing capitalist economy.

    If you know anything about the history of fascism you should know it arises as a response to Marxism.

      The lands and the people around me were heavily scarred by both.

      Both fascism and marxism emerge from an assumed conflict within the system: fascism from a conflict between nations and marxism from a conflict between classes.

      A failing economy, capitalist or otherwise, is just used as a tool for these ideologies to come into power.

      Saying that a movement that aims to change the social order so severely is conservative is also a bit silly.

      Both ideologies thrive during periods of crisis, and when one emerges, another might appear nearby. In that case, they will act like one opposes another but the act of opposition to an ideology also reinforces it.
