Is Fascism actually a threat?

Yes. You can all exit the thread now; you are welcome.

According to ML theory, the fascist movement (or whatever you want to call it) is not threat in the sense that they're not allowed to get into power by the bourgeois until certain conditions are met, ie. a huge crisis, the collapse of liberal democracy, etc. Capitalists trade basic liberties for an all out dictatorship in order to maintain their power. That's why Dimitrov called fascism an open reactionary dictatorship, it's no longer "concealed"

Yes fascism is a major threat when coupled with climate change. You'll have a future world consisting of super-fascist violent states who are EXTREMELY antagonistic towards each other, consuming and producing without a care for another. As conditions worsen, so to will the political system. Europe especially will always revert to fascism when crisis hits.

Even without climate change, don't doubt that the elite haven't made plans to make cattle out of us all through drugs or some other shit.

Also another reason why fascism is so destructive is that it ACTIVELY seeks out and kills and leftist intellectual/activist where fascism takes hold. Setting back progress by decades.

The thing with fascism is that it's a response to when capital is either under attack or needs to be defended, so only rears its head when that occurs. In this way, it can said that it is always a threat, just not always an immediate one. So long as capital exists, then yes, it will be a threat, but can't really be said to a short-term or long-term one. It's just *there* as an innate one.

A threat is when a majority of people are incapable of doing anything differently. Fluidity is what keeps the economy flowing and when there is no fluidity thatvis something called "stagnant"
Fascism doesn't work because it causes death.

if fascism is capitalism in crisis and the rate of profit is always declining (therefore capitalism is as always in crisis) why aren't all capitalist states all fascists all of the time?

Capital is not a threat until it becomes stagnant. It must move and flow.

also italy had the strongest communist movement in western europe post-war so clearly fascism is not a good reason.

crises and the rate of profit aren't correlated. crisis occurs after investment over-exceeds profitability.
