Liberals have no recipe against fascism. At best, they just postpone it by one or two election cycles.

Perhaps you can clear this up by directing me towards the political ideology that has the recipe against fascism?

I highly doubt that you're gonna like this, but... communism. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's anarchism. But liberal democracy has failed that task time and time again.

Would you like to inform me when and where communism has indefinitely thwarted the rise of a totalitarian regime like fascism?

76% of the nazis killed in WWII were at the hands of the Soviets.

Is this the same Soviet regime that ran a totalitarian society whose primary difference from fascism was the coat of red paint? The same Soviet regime that itself collapsed into modern Russia?

Christ almighty you just sent the goalposts into orbit.

Uh, here I thought being a fascist society or collapsing into a fascist society might disqualify a country from the title of "Held off fascism indefinitely", but uh, you do you I guess.

Just because all major communist efforts in recent history ultimately manifest as totalitarian horror shows as a matter of course doesn’t mean it isn’t cooler than those stupid lapel flag pins. I mean. The music is pretty good.

The music is unironically good, though, unlike brownshirt fash trash. GRENADA, GRENADA, GRENADA MOYA!
