So what? They don't care.
Millions of people will believe anything the Ministry of Truth tells them to believe. They are called "stupid people," "useful idiots," "liberals," "progrogressives," "wokies," and "Democrats."
These morons will believe literally anything their masters tell them, e.g. that, DNA notwithstanding, a man can be a woman or a woman a man just by saying so,
Or that Joe Biden is a great President honestly elected by millions of his supporters,
Or that Barack Obama a brilliant man!
You note, ...”fascism is socialism with a capitalist veneer.” Well put. Well put indeed.
