That’s a modern take that doesn’t really hold up to any scrutiny since there was conservatism before capitalism.
It’s a convenient rallying cry of people who prefer socialism as they understand it, but the direct comparison doesn’t hold any historical water.

I remember that book, it’s older right? I read it in college or high school at some point.
Conservativism isn’t the same as fascism. Reactionary movements have existed in every form of Class Society, when Capitalism overtook Feudalism it was the holdover Monarchist movements. It isn’t a “convenient rallying cry,” but an analysis of reactionary vs progressive social movements driven by class interests.

blaming capitalism for literally everything, especially in a meme, is simple aggressive fomenting.

What “reactionary” movements existed in tribal societies devoid of distinct classes?

I blame Capitalism for Capitalism’s issues, not literally everything.

I have no idea what point you’re actually making.
