Cultural values, ideas, and what's considered Human Nature change alongside Mode of Production. "Humans are naturally greedy" is wrong, Capitalism expresses that trait.
By and large the Proletariat supported the Communists and Socialists, while the Petite Bourgeoisie and Bourgeoisie supported the Nazis.
Far from ridiculous, it's factual. Fascism isn't genetic, and it isn't just an idea thst randomly pops up. Fascism has been studied thoroughly and we know why it exists and where it comes from.
I suggest you do. It's even happening in the US right now, Capitalism is crumbling, and as a result small business owners and corporations are aligning along nationalist lines.
