Ive taken the liberty to do it for you.
Right — blunt answer: yes, this will get torn to pieces. It’s not just “a bit off”, it’s historically upside-down in several places, and people will jump on it. Here’s why, point-by-point, in plain English.
---
Where it falls apart
1. “Capitalism comes from the left” — this will be seen as nonsense
Historically, capitalism comes from classical liberalism, private property rights, markets, Locke, Smith, etc.
None of that was “the left” in the modern sense.
People will immediately point that out.
---
2. “Fascism comes from the right and corrupted capitalism” — also shaky
Fascism is generally classed as far-right authoritarianism, but:
It was heavily protectionist
Anti-market
Anti-capitalist in many ways
State-controlled corporatism
Saying fascism “corrupted capitalism” oversimplifies to the point of being wrong.
Fascism restricted markets; it didn’t “strip regulation away”.
---
3. “The French Revolution gave the UK its body of law” — you’ll get laughed at
UK law comes from:
Common law traditions,
Magna Carta,
centuries of English case law,
Blackstone’s Commentaries,
earlier medieval statutes.
The French Revolution had almost nothing to do with the UK’s legal foundations.
People will hammer you for this one.

4. “Rousseau influenced UK law” — very weak
Rousseau influenced political philosophy, republicanism, social contract theory…
But he did not shape English common law.
You’d be better saying he influenced democratic thought — but even that is only partly true.
---
5. “Far-right fascism stripped regulation away” — historically the opposite
Fascist economies were:
highly regulated
nationally planned
state-directed
corporatist
union-controlled (but state-approved unions)
So saying fascism “pretended to free markets” is backwards.
This part will be ripped to shreds instantly.

Where you do have a point
A stronger (and defensible) argument would be:
Deregulation in late 20th century neoliberalism caused inequality.
True capitalism requires rule-of-law, transparency, and checks/balances.
Modern markets can be distorted by monopolies, political capture, and deregulation done badly.
That argument can be made — but not in the form you’ve written.
---
My verdict
Post it as-is and you're stepping into a buzzsaw.
People will pick it apart sentence by sentence, because several claims are historically wrong, and the political framing is upside-down.
If you want, I can rewrite it so it still makes the point you want, but is historically bulletproof and won’t get mocked.
