Well, the Fascists now have a party (more like two parties, one even more far-right than the other) and have to actually convince enough voters (like the inlaws of the person I replied to) so that they win the election, which doesn’t always happen - for example right now the Government is in the hands of the (supposedly) center-left mainstream party (not sure if they’re really left of center since nowadays european mainstream “moderate” parties are all neoliberal to at least some extent).
In the time of the dictatorship they had absolute power and didn’t need to convince anybody to have power (but, perhaps, the military leadership).
So things did change, though the change was indeed not at all started by them being overthrown.
Were they in power for the past years? I understand that they weren’t? But people are still striking, their situation has gotten this bad. So does it really matter if their power is not absolute? If the people’s conditions are getting worse, if the fascists are still eating with both hands?
