This is interesting, but I don't think fascism has self-destruction impulses. Really, it is the opposite: capital's last hope in times of crisis. Basing itself on both discarded classes like the lumpenproletariat (and previously the peasantry) and a strong petty-bourgeois presence.

It is (paraphrasing Trotsky) "the betrayal by the reformists of the uprising of the [Italian] proletariat [...] After its bold and heroic exertions, the proletariat was left facing the void. The disruption of the revolutionary movement became the most important factor in the growth of fascism. [...] But when this hope is lost, he is easily enraged and is ready to give himself over to the most extreme measures. Otherwise, how could he have overthrown the democratic state and brought fascism to power in Italy and Germany? The despairing petty bourgeois sees in fascism, above all, a fighting force against big capital, and believes that, unlike the working-class parties which deal only in words, fascism will use force to establish more “justice”. The peasant and the artisan are in their manner realists. They understand that one cannot forego the use of force."

It is exactly this 'revivalist' and counter-revolutionary attitude of fascism which is to be feared.
