On a basis of Umberto Eco's Ur-Fascism, fascism never really went away. It merely changed its aesthetic forms and went back into lurking.

Great historical video though. Want to make sure it's clear this is not a criticism of this video, merely my own input that I think we have to confront that fascism wasn't defeated by the allies in 1945. Merely one form of fascism. In the years that would follow, the Soviet Union would implement its own form of police state while in the US the FBI and J Edgar Hoover controlled nearly all forms of political discourse, creating an environment that would erode much of the power the Unions had gained prior to WWs I and II. These forms of covert fascism would eventually give way to the forms of overt fascism we currently experience today with the breaking point coming in the period of 1999 (when Vladimir Putin first became Prime Minister) and 2002 (passage of the United States' Homeland Security act).
