    "Liberalism doesn’t “enable” fascism. It’s the only thing that prevents it. Fascism is a system where the state has supreme authority over the individual. It demands obedience, central planning, and the sacrifice of personal freedom to a collective ideal of nation, race, or leader. All power flows downward.

    Liberalism is the opposite. Classical liberalism is built on the protection of individual rights, limits on state power, private property, free expression, and voluntary association. Fascism requires crushing these things. A society where you can speak, assemble, trade, and criticize authority is one where fascism cannot take root without first destroying the liberal framework.

    Fascism only rises when liberalism weakens or collapses. The Weimar Republic didn’t “enable” Hitler. Its institutions were dismantled, censored, intimidated, and bypassed until nothing liberal was left. Fascism requires the elimination of liberal rights as step one.

    Communism and fascism are not opposites. They are cousins. Both are forms of collectivist authoritarianism built on the same philosophical core.

    Both demand:

    • The subordination of the individual to a collective cause • State control over the economy • Suppression of dissent • One-party rule • Propaganda as truth • “Enemies of the people” to justify repression • Central planning of life, work, speech, and association

    They differ not in their structure but in their branding. Fascism uses the nation or race. Communism uses the proletariat or “the people.” But both abolish individual rights and treat human beings as instruments for a collective end.

    Where liberalism says “Your life is yours,” fascism and communism both say “Your life belongs to us.”

    That’s why communists and fascists historically admire each other’s efficiencies and borrow each other’s methods. It’s also why communist revolutions always result in the same things fascism needs: censorship, secret police, one-party rule, centralized power, and the destruction of civil society.

    If fascism appears, it’s because liberalism was abandoned, not because it was followed. And it is communism, not liberalism, that shares fascism’s DNA.

    What both communists and fascists depend on is nonsensical, baseless, and emotional assertions, because envy, resentment, ignorance, and indifference are their lifeblood."
