So: start organising to fight fascism immediately. We've been saying this for years: you don't fight fascism at the urns. Unionize, make collective grassroots power, read leftist theory (the only ones who managed to stop fascism in the last century).
Managed to stop fascism? That was a collective effort, but ok. Stop totalitarian dictatorship? Not at all.
