People keep comparing what we're seeing now to Nazi Germany. They're not wrong. The resemblance is undeniable.

At this point I'm genuinely confused why you asked the question in the first place. What answer were you looking for? Because last I checked the Allies, who collectively stopped the fascists, were an alliance between state entities. Specifically, between capitalist states and the USSR. But you "don't like" either of those, even when they're fighting the Nazis!
Why would you ask a rhetorical question to lead people to an answer you disagree with? Christ, the brainworms are beyond my ability to detangle.
Your little gotcha's didn't land, so now you're going back to square one?
I was asking because the answer was the use of force - not waiting until the mid-terms to vote in what will most likely be the most rigged election in US history. A answer I feel most people understood, but of course you had to try and shoehorn in 'the soviets were great' which isn't surprising from you lot.
Either way I'm done replying now, you can simp for genocidal authoritarians to someone else.
If the use of force alone was enough, the Nazis never would've come to power. There were plenty of people willing to face them in the streets and match their violence, far more than there are in the US today.
But it's obvious that you just want to exchange snipes and have zero interest in actually learning anything from history, so you will continue to repeat the mistakes of the past. Even when the fascists are at your doorstep, you'll still be punching left, and demanding everyone follow incoherent and dysfunctional ideas because you can't be asses to read theory, study history, or engage with anyone beyond snipes and memes.
