            When has capitalism killed fascists without being backed by socialism, under a government that is the closest America has ever been to being a social democracy?

            Especially compared to its preferred modus operandi, supporting the fascists and assassinating union organizers.

              The easy answer there is World War Two started 1 September 1939 and the soviets got involved 17 September of that year.

              Now I’m sure you’ll answer my question, right?

                I don’t consider “rat fucking the Spanish Republic, unlike the socialists” and “getting absolutely bodied in Poland and France” to be “killing fascists,” but yes, I did, twice now.

                I’ll give you this though.

                It was ultimately a capitalist that killed Hitler.

                    1939-1940.

                    The period of 1940-1941 saw the monarchists hide on their island, refusing to move troops from their imperial holdings to defend their supposed allies in Yugoslavia, Norway, Denmark, and Greece, except in the form of token expeditionary forces who were completely ineffective.

                    They, of course, could not actually remove the standing troops from most of their colonial holdings, as it would almost certainly result in a popular revolt, with good cause, as demonstrated by the Bengal Famine of 1943, not to be confused with the similar in purpose and cause Bengal Famine of 1770.
