any of the tech companies that sell hardware clearly does it to try to get favor to get exemptions from possible tariffs (e.g Nvidia)

Fascism and capitalism go hand-in-hand because their goals align almost exactly. I also read or heard that fascism is the enforcement arm of capitalism when the peasants become unruly (ergo regulating enterprise and the leverage of tax in the rich). I'll see if I can find the quote or video I saw about the comparisons between capitalism and fascism. It was a really interesting read.

Do you have an example of a political system that can somehow handle "peasants" becoming unruly without turning into some sort of fascism?
