The government is part of the structure of capitalism though. It is an expression of the power of capital.

No, they always were. That's the point of fascism. To present an "alternative" that keeps the same group in power.

Fascists aren't anti establishment. Their whole thing is doing even worse things to preserve capitalism when it enters crisis.

Fascists only pretend to be anti establishment their whole thing is preserving capitalism when it enters crisis.

Nah, most of the extreme racism or genocide denial/advocation I moderate comes from lemmy.world and shitholefornazis. .ml users are generally tame, especially the old hats.

There is a difference between simplifying and oversimplifying. Just like there is a difference between nuance and losing the forest for the trees.

Yes you can? Capitalism was very much at the root of the conflict. It can accurately be reduced to capitalism. You can elaborate and provide further detail to how it happened, but that doesn't change the big picture.
