I was raised fascist and bought into it. But the inherent unfairness of capitalism can't be hidden. My first thought was that the people who said "capitalism is the only way" weren't wrong but just outdated, that even if capitalism had been a go of system it was obsolete. This cracked open the door to Marxism which lead to a whole transformation over time.
I share this because I think it provides us some hope: even if the fascists won their ideas would only last so long before their own children became anarchists.
