What’s the Opposite of Fascism?

There I was, standing on the street beside the little cafe, sneaking a ciggie. A woman walked by. Wearing a “Fascism” T-shirt. What it is, why not to be part of it. Great T-shirt, I said, pointing. She took me in. Sunglasses, leather jacket, tiny white dog. Safe. Thank you,

Humanism is the opposite of fascism. And if you genuinely understand that, you can see, too, why fascism took root in America.

    You’re thinking of countries that call themselves communist, but aren’t actually communist. A truly communist society is stateless and classless, and doesn’t exist today.

    Arguably, states that are trying to achieve a communist society can use fascism to achieve it, but that has never happened and likely never will, because the kind of people who want to operate a fascist society don’t ever have communism as their end goal.

    It’s also not ridiculous to think that a communist society will never exist, because there are just too many societal power imbalances to ever truly achieve it.
