    A well-working educational system is clearly the best weapon against fascism.

    That has never stopped fascism before. Ever.

      I think they assume “well working” means “is not a propaganda tool for the fascists.”

      They probably don’t want to acknowledge that capturing schools, and what history and literature they are allowed to teach, is also the easiest way to create the Hitler Youth.

      It also rather demonstrates that they are the best way to create the Anti-Hitler Youth.

        As far as I’m aware, proper antifascism is not a subject taught at European schools. Today’s antifascists had to learn it the same way the interwar antifascists learned it - from scratch.

        But it’s actually far, far worse than that. Liberal societies are utterly unwilling to confront what fascism really is nor the reasons fascism grows so easily in said liberal societies, and education cirriculums, of course, follow suit. This all makes it very easy for fascism to fester pretty much out in the open.

        I won’t be relying on a formal education system to even slow fascism down… never mind stop it.

        Fascism is always populated by ignorant morons. Always.

        And the capitalists who funds fascism? Are they ignorant morons, too?

        What about the media, which goes out of it’s way to downplay fascism? Are they morons as well?

        What about the police, who always protects and enables fascism - what about them?

        Your understanding of fascism is dangerously naive.
