      How so? The question regards indefinitely thwarting fascism, which the other commenter accused liberal democracy of being unable to do. I ask which ideology it is they think CAN indefinitely thwart fascism in a way that liberal democracy has failed to.

        From which ideology has a recipe against fascism to which can indefinitely prevent the rise of a totalitarian regime similar to fascism

        Don’t pretend that isn’t moving goal posts just because you don’t like communism and so you hold it to a higher standard than liberalism.

          If ‘indefinitely’ is not required, then liberal democracy has a recipe against fascism which has worked for at least the past 80 years; as long as fascism has been around, and the question becomes self-defeating.

          If you think the Stalinist and Maoist regimes were different from fascism in anything other than the coat of red paint, I can’t help you. “The People’s Genocide” is not actually better than “Genocide”, believe it or not.
