I would rather have some questions that I can't answer than any answers that I can't question.

I wonder if fascism is an inevitable consequence of unchecked capitalism.

This may answer my question.
Democracies vs. Oligarchies: “There are, of course, economic inequalities everywhere, but in a democratic regime they tend to diminish, whereas under an oligarchy they tend to increase. And wherever an oligarchy has power, economic inequalities threaten to become permanent owing to the modern impossibility of successful rebellion. Only democracy and free publicity can prevent the holders of power from establishing a servile state, with luxury for the few and overworked poverty for the many.” — Bertrand Russell, Unpopular Essays (1950), Ch: III, The Future of Mankind (The Atlantic, March 1951), p. 59
