The picture acknowledges that liberalism is the ideology of capitalism but when capitalism is threatened by its own contradictions, it will turn to fascism to protect itself. This sequence is an historical fact.

Ironically, perhaps, within liberalism, which rejects and lacks material analysis, 'everything I don't like is fascism' is an accepted framework. Because liberals refuse to accept that fascism is a related ideology of their beloved capitalism. Without a material analysis, liberals cannot see that it is they who will become fascists to protect capitalism.
