Like many human endeavors, it has a good side and a bad side. This meme seems to concentrate on its worse qualities: unchecked capitalism without social safety nets. And that is what is promoted by the modern fascists
When the actual fascist movement started in Italy, Mussolini almost called his movement capitalism because it promoted a controlled form of capitalism. Run by cronies of the state.
And while modern American fascism has a broad protection streak, where only a small amount of wealthy in the USA should control goods, it still mostly honors the worst of the global economy.
