Really? Tell that to all the “liberal” regimes that enabled fascists when said liberals couldn’t keep working-class revolt in check… Weimar Germany literally did that to crush the “Spartacist” revolt after WW1.
There’s a saying amongst leftists - you can’t have a harvest of fascism without liberals loosening the ground for it first. Fascism is not some “aberration” of the classical liberal nation state and it never was.
Italy, Poland, Ukraine, Estonia, Hungary and Turkey all have severe issues with fascism right now
It’s not an issue… fascism is a feature of classical liberal nation states - not a flaw.
an issue for the populace
Bullshit. Fascism is by definition antithetical to classical liberalism.
