I would still disagree. Social Dems don’t meet any definition of fascism. It sounds like you’re just declaring anyone who’s not revolutionary as a fascists. But fascists are revolutionary minded as well.

Fascism occurs in order to protect the power of capital when faced with revolution. Social democracy also exists to do this. This is why Bourgeois will support both those movements, but never communism. Make of those material motivations what you will.

Fascists over throw the government. There’s a significant difference between an actual revolution or a coup vs just electoralism.

I can’t make any comment on if a bourgeois class ever supported a left wing revolution but only because I’m not super well read on global politics or much history.

Forget about the specific goverment, because that’s largely not the important part. As materialists, we believe that the mode of production primarily shapes society.

Fascists largely maintain the current mode of production, as do social democrats. They aren’t really revolutionary in any sense other than aesthetic, and that’s why they will get large support from bourgeois in order to prevent revolutionary movements from gaining power.
