The description of the link to fascism didn’t come from Marx; that bit is from Bosworth, a modern Australian academic who studies Italian fascism.
Marx said that the middle class would eventually be destroyed by the upper class (which is happening now). Bosworth observed that a significant fraction of the middle class tend to react to that threat by turning to fascism.
