Trump might be a fascist, but the bourgeoisie has no need to give him dictatorial powers to rule as a fascist. The bourgeoisie will only resort to fascism if they feel threatened by a Left movement. There is no Leftist movement strong enough to even make the bourgeoisie sweat, the bourgeoisie are still raking in massive profits
Does the bourgeois need to feel threatened by a leftist movement, or do they just need to feel threatened? Because I think they do feel threatened by, among other things, the loss of western hegemony, by the open hatred the proletariat now feels towards them (even if that hatred is unorganized and undirected) and by global warming.
the threat of a leftist movement potentially arising in response to those conditions is kind of a second-order thing, but I feel like you could argue it counts
