    That’s one of the few silver linings of fascism, it always ends. It’s inherently unstable.

          Unfortunately there’s not really a good historical example of fascism being stopped once they have the power of the pulpit without the help of foreign intervention.

            I’ve heard that before but I only have an american public education. If I actually looked for historical examples, I wonder what I would find?

              I mean, it’s a bit difficult to look for historical examples of something not happening. However the opposite is fairly easy, off the top of my head the most well known examples of fascist governments being brought down are the Nazi, Vichy France, imperial Japan, and Mussolini’s Italy.
