The thesis of the Redsails essay (Really Existing Fascism) is that capitalist/imperialist core relations vis a vis the periphery and often vis a vis the marginalised groups within the core and semi-periphery itself are fascist in nature (the capital accumulation stage, which having "used up" one group to accumulate capital from must move on to the next).

What we colloquially call fascism is simply this capital accumulation phase being reapplied to the previously privileged working people of the core.

Fascism is as co-constitutive of capitalism as liberalism is. Liberalism corresponds to the operational aspect of surplus value exploitation in the core, whereas fascism corresponds to the operational aspect of primitive accumulation at its temporal and spatial boundaries.
