    Societies don’t have inevitable endpoints, in the same way that you can’t predict with 100% certainty that an individual will die of old age.

          It’s just a hilariously apt example of the overly simplistic narratives I’m criticizing. If you’re willing to label all capitalism as fascism then perhaps the narrative becomes true, just as falsely labeling all causes of death in the elderly old age makes your analogy work.
