He's right tho. The stuff in the meme are just things that happened under capitalism.
Let's not whitewash capitalism by blaming its atrocities on fascism.
Well capitalism tends to lead you to fascism so idk how it’s white washing.
It's whitewashing because it's implying that genocide, leftist suppression, etc are the exclusive characteristics of a fascistic system instead of business as usual under capitalism. This removes the bad aspects of capitalism ("if this is happening it's because the US has turned fash, it's not capitalism's fault").
