The superstructure of Fascism, built upon the economic basis of seisure and deprivation of the fruits of labour of others, can only sustain itself by continuing the only economic activity that fits them, namely the othering, deprivation, and slaughter of other non-self members of society.

Without constant external conflict, they turn upon themselves and attempt to continue that exercise of deprivation upon people they formerly considers to be members of the collective. In other words, without an external enemy for them to tear into, they will fracture into a million sub-groups that tear each other apart. Even with the constant search of an external enemy, eventually the Fascist collective will stumble upon an enemy they do not have sufficient resources to kill, and thus will either die trying, or halt and tear themselves apart from the internal dynamic.

Capitalism adores these death cults because they are not only a pressure valve that will divert class conflict away from their class, can serve as henchmen for the Capitalist class for minimal lip service to their superstructure, and are also a problem that will "sort itself out" as they lodge the working class in a permanently disadvantaged position from the constant upheaval and conflict.

Hell yeah also I know I am posting this show too much (it is genuinely difficult to find accessible material related to dependency theory that isn't just Samir Amin's books), but a recent discussion on The East is a Podcast nailed this imo, particularly in the section covering the distinction between imperialism & colonialism + the way colonialism destabilizes imperialism
