Fascist movements kill off their critics, literally or metaphorically, while democratic movements value, invite and even welcome criticism.
This non-proletarianised plebs has been racialist when it has been colonialist; it has been nationalist - chauvinist - when it has been armed; and it has been fascist when it has become the police force.These ideological effects on the plebs have been uncontestable and profound.
