Both the fascists and the communists want to overturn the liberal system, it’s about the only thing they actually genuinely agree on. Fortunately the actual full-on seize-the-means-of-production sorts are a vanishingly tiny percentage of the American population, and the two factions are otherwise completely antithetical to each other, with fascism being pure hierarchy and communism being no hierarchy. Liberalism in all its forms sits between these two extremes.
Lemmy, being international and non-corporate, is a small hub for the community though, with .ml (the more moderate ones) and .grad (the full-on tankies) being their homes.
I’m generally not worried about them. They know full well the fascists would literally try to eradicate them, that’s a primary component of fascist philosophy going back to Hitler. They also won’t be able to gain much of a foothold in the US until they can demonstrate a large-scale example of success somewhere, which is difficult when even China of all places has moved away from communist economic principles in recent decades. They will never stop hating liberals unfortunately, since we’re clearly not communist and stand in their way. We at least permit them to exist though, when there’s no McCarthyites running things anyway.
I’m not that guy, but my two cents:

Dude what the fuck are you even talking about?
Check out .grad and you’ll see pretty quick.
Lmfao paint brush nonsense, maybe you should take your two cents and invest it
