Humanism is the opposite of fascism. And if you genuinely understand that, you can see, too, why fascism took root in America.

Communism often coexists with Fascism.

Communism is not the opposite of fascism.

Thinking capitalism and humanism incompatible is irrelevant when discussing what is an opposite. Communism certainly isn't it.

Fascists often advertise themselves as socialist or communist. This is not the same as them being ideologically socialist or communist.
