I can't remember, have there been any fascist leaders who were removed from power by any means other than violence?

@mhanson101 Spain's Franco. He died in a hospital bed having named his successor. We should not make that same mistake.

@mhanson101
It might be good to think of the silent walks in Leipzig, Germany when police were instructed to fire on protesters but didn't, likely because of how clearly peaceful the protesters were. It might be rare but is always possible. It is also true that what hurts a dictatorship as powerful as what the world is seeing now might not look like the violence that we automatically imagine. In my opinion, acting very calmly but very determinedly and coordinated is what really hurts this regime

@resl definitely organization and collective action is the best way forward

@mhanson101 Argentina in the 1980s. East Germany. Czechoslovakia. Hungary. Poland. Romania. Etc in 1989. Bolivia. Portugal. Not sure about Paraguay. Most fascist regimes, I would suggest.
I wonder how many have been removed by violence/war? Nazi Germany. Italy. Cuba. Nicaragua.
