You've misinterpreted my point. But, I'll start by addressing your statement that fascism is so much worse than communism: It's not, all numbers from the 20th century show us that communism is even worse than fascism... and that's a very though target to beat.

But about my point. My point is not preferring fascism to communism: any kind of collectivism is equally bad and only brings pain and misery to the people.

My point is that presently, communism is a much bigger threat since you have a lot more communists in positions of power than fascists. Sure, it's fancy to now call fascist to anyone that defends basic common sense measures that were accepted by any Democrat as obvious under Clinton (you know, things like meritocracy, praising hard work, incarcerating violent offenders, keeping borders secure and expecting people to work in order to get money... all big red fascist flags nowadays), but you don't have single person in any real position of power of public exposure telling you proudly they are fascists.

But boy, you do have a bunch of them telling you they are "socialists", or "Marxists"... and now, you even have some telling you outright they are communists. Let's get this straight, the amount of propaganda reached such a degree of insanity in the USA, that you now have people, openly admitting they are communists without any repercussions. They are even getting elected for public office.
