@AnarchoNinaWrites The thoughtful part of the bourgeoisie knows, intellectually, that their best hope for survival is the use of the state as an instrument of class reconciliation — i.e., social democracy. But the actual mechanics of capitalism make that solution unsustainable (it will be worn down over time because the class conflict between the owners and workers is an unavoidable part of capitalism). So they are forced to return to the core function of the state as the instrument of class oppression; some more eagerly, some less eagerly. Fascism and police states are simply a return to the norm of class society, with the use of hard power rather than soft to maintain the rule of one class.
