      Liberal as in “procapitalist”. German Empire was capitalist system, albeit with a strong influence of aristocracy, and the very same aristocrats still supported nazis - and the 3rd Reich was still a capitalist country, in fact very capitalist, and so also within the definition of a liberal.

      You must note we are using here the marxist definition of fascism - that fascism is the attempt of the bourgeoisie to held power against the growing proletarian organization, threat of revolution and their own waning power. You can compare how Stalin called socialdemocrats the moderate wing of fascism and how liberal parties across the west are now becoming increasingly more fascistic.
