I'm glad to hear it.
If my response to
@PopeADope looks a bit strange, it's because I'm an ex-communist and have had to deal with issues of my own because of what I believed. I was involved in the movement (mainly online) for over ten years and really had to struggle to come to terms with the fact I was supporting a system that killed 100 million people. I have tried pulling myself out of it, but it remains a
daily struggle and you have to deal with really dark, difficult stuff that makes you deeply uncomfortable. You have to root yourself back in "reality" where people get hurt and hurt each other when thinking about the ideas of a "perfect world" is much more attractive and reassuring. (if anything that kind of exposure temporarily makes your beliefs stronger and you even more fervent out of the insecurity) I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but going through it has proven to be ultimately the right thing to do.
It's worth keeping in mind that everyone has their own story behind the label. No-one is born a fascist and the story of how someone becomes involved in Fascism (or Communism in my case) is usually much more interesting that what their beliefs are. There is always a chance they can find a way to become someone without those beliefs, as they had been before they got involved with them.
If you can get someone to think about where they are from, how they got there and whether it was inevitable, you might be able to find ways to show them their are alternatives and they have a choice about who they are and can become. It's as much an emotional journey in to and out of a belief system (much like a cult) as it is a purely rational question of the right arguments.
I hope that clears things up a little bit.
