It's not a popular take in doomer circles like lemmy, but I legitimately believe that there is a "bloodless" outcome that results in the right absolutely crumbling. Not only that, I believe anything less will inevitably result in this exact situation repeating itself every hundred years or so until we learn as a people how to build a sustainable, equitable society that prioritizes human dignity over greed.
We need to learn as a society how to identify and reject fascist ideologies the same way we can look at moldy food and know not to eat it. And I think the Internet may be the tool that gets us to that point.
Until we get to that point, all democracies will continue to fall victim to these types of attacks.
I agree with the first statement, the rest feels to me like an arbitrary list of nice things that I don't believe is backed by empirical data, so I can't agree that "Anything short of this will just lead right back into fascism as history has shown". The "$50 million" number is arbitrary. And workers tend to not have capital to start/run a company, nor do they want to assume the risk associated with it failing. Is there a specific historical example of all those things being successfully guaranteed in some society that you're thinking of? How is it going for them now?
To stick with my original analogy, the same way I "get out of" food poisoning without puking my guts out for a time: I don't eat it.
To relate it back to your first statement which I agree with, "We need a society in which people are not able to obtain the kind of power that can allow for fascism". How do we do this? Democratically! We need a society of people who detest the signs of fascism:
Personally, I think we need to agree on a charter of some kind that has a feedback loop built in: as wealth inequality is relatively low, allow more capitalism, more risk, more innovation; and as wealth inequality rises, so too do corporate tax rates, guarantees on worker compensation, all the bells and whistles. If you're a corporation who doesn't like the tax rate, tough, we've all agreed that until the state of the society gets better, your ability to capitalize on it is handicapped.
"But why not always socialism, workers own all the things all the time?" The world is a big complicated factory of interconnected systems. We can't hope to control it all even if we had a One World Govt running everything, much less hundreds of independent nations and cultures. At best we would create unintended emergent phenomena like black markets. I don't think we should aim to control everything, we just ensure society sets up the right incentives, and the one thing that should underscore every incentive should be human dignity.
Homelessness should be illegal, in that we as a society should not be allowed to let people be homeless. It should be a crime against humanity for any society to allow one person to take billions more in tax breaks each year, while another person dies in the streets. Same for starvation or lack of healthcare. I would even go as far as to say, giving someone a job that is too mind numbing should be a crime. It's one thing for you to work for the weekend, it's another thing for it to be psychologically demeaning in its mundanity, which seems to be the ideal end game for many jobs: optimize out any way for the employee to mess anything up with the way that they are.
The part I don't like to admit though is (without going down a second rabbit hole), I think the best way to achieve this cultural shift is through religion. We need a religion that emphasizes human dignity above all else. No other mechanism has proven as successful at shaping the behaviour of large groups of people.
