How fascism develops

How fascism develops, with one small change after another gradually building up to a dictatorship in which defiance is basically impossible.

I am skeptical of the claim that Venezuela is "fascist". Real opposition candidates do get elected there. I am also dubious about the idea that Hungary has gone so far as fascism. But these are minor details which I mention for the record — they don't affect the article's conclusions.

We don't have fascism in the US yet, but I haven't see anyone propose a way to stop it, other than to pray for a miracle. And praying doesn't do any good.
