Karl Marx is awesome, and so is this guy. But why would this cheerleader, a mascot of false, dichotomous, competition among peers, give a damn?

You have it wrong. Your entirely argument is based on the assumption the United States is a democracy, though if you read Article 2 Section 2 of the Constitution, you will find out the United States is a Constitutional Republic. Now tell me, how does a government constrained by a Constitution in what it can do lead to fascism? The Constitution doesn't authorize fascist policies, however the United States Constitution is being overthrown, hence the fascist movement. You have it wrong.

Capitalism is technically stealing from the poor and giving it to the rich, eventually this leads down towards Fascism over time.

Socialism is stealing from the rich and giving it to the poor, eventually this leads towards Communism over time.

Democratic and liberal societies are the least known throughout recorded human history, and very few have survived for long.

So take your pick, would you rather live in a Nazi style society or a Soviet style society after the collapse of democracy?
