The problem with fascism isn't the economic system underpinning it but the authoritarianism that leads to oppression. A Marxist one party state would result in the same oppression, and makes this meme pretty disingenuous.
The sweet spot where any form of government is strong enough enforce fairness without turning to oppression is, as it turns out, pretty hard for us to figure out.
I believe the root that causes the rot is corruption. Countries that are liberal and have low corruption index do well and people are happy living there.
Hell, Trump himself has shifted me from neutral on communism to antagonistic. Can you imagine if the current checks and balances failed, as they currently are, and he could control the supply chain?
