Like yeah, we all know that communism defeated fascism in WWII, but that was only after a lot of war & genocide had already transpired.

I’m interested in the counterfactual, in which it never got to that point because the Nazis and Italian fascists were prevented from ever acquiring power to begin with. What would that have looked like? What would have been needed for that to happen?

Every time US colour revolution fails.

It’s just hard to say exact anatomy of that fascism because it didn’t happen. But every time US colour revoultion suceeded, some form of it was achieved.

Countless examples, surely, but it’s not really notable if some randos fail to gain power
