The Combination of Fascism and Communism: Smashing the Moderates, before Annihilating Each Other

One of my graduate professors once warned me that Fascism is most likely to occur when prevailing political attitudes have found a common enemy to the extreme-right and the extreme-left. More so, it is the populist demonization of the forces in power that best paves the way for one of these extreme ideologies to take power. While either side might not be aware that they are demonizing the same people, their goal is to rip power from the hands of whoever they fantasize has it and through autocratic means, impose their will. It should be interesting to note that whoever controls the money controls the power, and therefore it is often the liberal capitalistic forces who attract their condemnation. Once the liberal forces have been marginalized, it is of simple nature that the most brutal and single-minded of the remaining players will prevail. Left-wing, secular, communism, is much too complex and fractional to oppose a united fascist front whose main tenet is racism...where economic policy is secondary. It is the mythical elitists who are abhorred by both sides.

The negotiators also need to know what the end game is; meaning political leaders need to articulate to their negotiators what they want to achieve.
