@anthoniix@Recant@hedge I’ve come to the conclusion that there are no particular rules that can prevent fascism. All that can be done is to continuously fight in whatever way is possible that day.
The fascists firmly control the courts? Pack the courts. The progressives firmly control the courts? Amend the constitution to prevent court-packing. The fascists took them over again? Repeal the amendment. The rules and traditions mean nothing to fascists and they have to mean nothing to progressives as well if progressives are to win. Fascists will always change the rules to help fascists win; progressives have to do the same.
there are no particular rules that can prevent fascism
100% truth. Democracy cannot defend itself against actors that don’t agree with the common principle of following the law, and fascists by their very nature don’t acknowledge any law buy physical might.
