"It should be pretty obvious that the socialist in this country are more than willing to make a few stops in fascism to get to a completely socialistic system."
You are on track but still way off. If you ever judged livestock competitively you'd get about a 32 out of 50 on this class.
You''ve got the concept right but the basic math wrong. Doesn't work that way. Can't. Impossible because once you arrive at facism you go nowhere until usurped. But the European facsist states that were established in Portugal, Spain, Germany and Italy garnered public support through promises of socialism, on thier way to fascism.. It's fascinating to read up on, actually.
But those who would desire socialism could never start with an appeal to fascism, as that is a dead ender.
There was a large amount of admiration in the business community here in the U.S and in Great Britian (and an immense level of financial and technical support) for HItler, Mussolini, Franco etc. And the Hoover administration touted all sorts of socialist programs no doubt to get the puiblic behind where our plutocracy wanted to take us. But without the naturally occuring nationalism in the US that would naturally have been built around a generally common ethnicity in each of those European countires we stopped at the socialism...never got close to the facsism until AFTER the war with the growth of the military industrial complex which came to full maturity in the 1980 Presidential election.
But then, I suppose, if it had been done your way, we'd have never gone to war...or might have been on the other side.
