Thought to ask this after a pointless and exhausting argument with liberals who are convinced that Trump being voted out proves that liberal democracy works and that Bernie and AOC are going to fix capitalism.
Surely as capitalism continues to decay and it becomes clear that the only possible futures are socialism or barbarism, there's going to come a point where nobody is going to believe that the Bidens and Pelosis are going to save us. I fully expect most liberals to embrace fascism when that time comes, but I've still gotta wonder... what's it going to take? What will be the tipping point?
I'd consider embracing fascism a rejection of liberalism. Liberals see themselves as champions of things like women's rights, freedom of speech, democracy, &c while fascists openly oppose them. I'm talking about the widespread realization that capitalism is incompatible with humanity, whether those who do so then proceed to reject capitalism (communists) or humanity (fascists).
