There’s an idea I’ve heard people spread about a 100 year or so repeating cycle of authoritarianism/fascism. Capitalism will inevitably lead to fascism. If no progress is made towards advancing socialism, anything that is done to overcoming fascism is merely slapping a bandage on an infected wound.

What do we do? Resist by whatever means we can and organize the working class. Every step towards that goal, no matter how small, chips away at it. Fascism is doomed to fail. We just need to help it along.
