Fascism in Italy had a lot more to do with nationalism than leftism, ultimately it wasn’t really a leftist movement at all. I’m not sure if you’re aware of the current state of the US but we already have an ethno-nationalism problem here, and it’s exactly the thing we’re trying to fight against.
Ok since y’all want to pick fights without trying to understand: fascism was a reaction to the growing leftist movements. It’s called reactionism because that’s what it does. Killing a few assholes won’t solve anything except give rise to some variation of this.
The foundation for change like this is a cultural shift, otherwise all you’ll get is some more repression.

Again, we have already passed that step. Cheeto Mussolini is already in power. His goons already have unchecked power to round up anyone they want.
we are the reactionaries.
