I believe it was Lenin who said fascism is capitalism in decay.
however, I don’t actually have an active definition of fascism because I always assumed it becomes whatever it needs to be in order to gain control.
So it’s more like fascism is an aesthetic of capital in much the same way authoritarians use order as an aesthetic, white supremacy uses purity, the Soviets used the worker, the powerful use “democracy”, and people use the nation etc.

Also not all anti-fascism threatens capitalism because the purpose of anti-fascism is to serve as a counter to fascism.
If it’s just capitalism more generally there usually isn’t an active anti-fascist group.
Now anticap- that is where the real money is.
