When I studied the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War something that struck me was how the military leaders launched their coup against an incredibly moderate liberal-left government that was planning some very timid reforms of church and land ownership.
The fascists managed to convince themselves that a slight change in their utter privilege was an existential threat. It feels like the far-right in the US is doing the same. Very basic capitalist reforms are seen as 'communism.'
