which aspects of fascism favor the workers?

That last one you’re going to want to find selections of. The whole thing is way too long and mostly irrelevant, but some parts of it are critical to understanding Marxism.

lol everyone itt is either shilling some very specific form of Marxism or dropping pdfs without context
Communists criticize capitalist society for many reasons. Private ownership gives the relatively small bourgeois class full control over production; the market ensures employment is compulsory and necessitates pursuit of profit over human needs by selecting for the most ruthless competitors. States perpetuate capitalism by enforcing private property laws via cops, opening new markets for investors via military imperialism, funding research that is later commodified (the iPhone is a good example of this), placating the lower classes with social programs (New Deal), etc. Not to mention the ecological devastation wrought by the oil, mining, timber, chemical, and agricultural industries.
A lot of the users here agitate for workers to seize control of production and run society via centralized democracy, but personally I'd rather drastically reduce production than work in a factory with pictures of Stalin on the wall, even if that means destroying infrastructure. A lot of technology is both bad for the biosphere and unnecessary, anyway.
And I think the whole idpol debate is stupid, tbh. Yes, some people are toxic about it, and even more classcucked, but the people who ignore or deny the material reality of oppression and its relevance to communist politics (a lot of white dude internet leftists) are undoubtedly a much bigger threat to working class solidarity.

You fucking moron. Destroying the factories doesn't mean you have to work less, it means you have to work more to produce less.
Hudson Sullivan
Destroy the factories, anprim now!

there's more to communism than Marxism-Leninism dipshit
30-40 hours, sure, but in a variety of different ways that actually allow you to go through the power process vs being a cog in the machine to get a piece of social surplus

Ah yes working the fields with stone tools is going to feel so empowering.
We filthy commies (or the first people that decide using technology isn't cheating) will push you off the land for your moronic and inefficient use of it.
