That is still framing fascism as a response of the working class to economic exploitation.

The fascist base is not working class; it’s middle class. Yes, they’re under economic pressure, but that pressure is a tiny fraction of what the working class has always had to deal with. The pressure they feel is the fear that they might themselves slide into the working class.

Fascism isn’t about the poor responding to oppression. It’s about the priviliged fighting to retain power.
