Well written and thought provoking IMHO

If laughing so hard that I fall of my chair counts as thought
provoking, OK.

The rise of Fascism relies on people having the notion that their own
prosperity, power and security derive from being a member of some
collective. Individualism, as expressed by capitalism, is the absolute
antidote to fascism.

Funny how communism and fascism seem so similar.

They seem similar because they are the same. Stalin was a great admirer
of Hitler and copied his methods. They all end up the same: state
control of production, violent silencing of dissidents, the leaders
assuming that they are the sole representatives of the collective will
and that all dissent and failure must be the result of sabotage by
criminals.
