I was at the mechanic shop waiting for an oil change and a couple very old (70+) and very Italian guys were chatting with each other. An Italian woman who knew them got into the convo also. They were just chatting about all the issues facing the world. The one guy exclaimed that "we need Benito back!" All of them agreed and the other guy said it seems like Indians are the biggest problem right now to which there were some nods.

I think this is what will lead back to fascism.
Everyone knows things are going to hell in a handbasket, and not just that but in such a way that pits us against each other instead of uniting us in the common struggle.
People who have seen communism know it won't help, because it puts the State before the People. We know democracy won't help, because the State doesn't differentiate between it's own People and outsiders (which is why democracies always need special laws to go to war).
But almost no one has actually seen fascism, and those who have tend to want to go back to it, a system where the State serves the People and has their entire authority to do so.

Fascism will win by default.
Willpower is what is sorely needed. Courage and willpower.
