Fascism is not functionally dead. We just don't have governments actively calling themselves Nazis and fascist. The modern day christian nationalist movement in the United States is a fascists movement, and that's without even getting into the actual neo-nazi and white supremacist groups that also have ties to people in power.

Like I said to another comment, I thought we were discussion the modern right wing and left wing movements happening now, I'm not sure why we're bringing up previous communist movements. Seems irrelevant to my comment.
