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

It’s communism. Humanism cannot co-exist with capitalism.

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 then being ideologically socialist or communist.
