Of course fascism isnt ok. Socialism isnt fascism. People tend to jump on the "antisocialist" bandwagon. But a few laws to keep minimum standards isnt fascism. Like in Canada, France and the UK with government funded healthcare. It's a form of socialism and it works. It's far cheaper for everyone per capita and the waiting list or quality is no worse than the USA. It's better. And free. That's why I say a little socialism is good. Obviously up to a point. And some capitalism is good to encourage ingenuity, and create jobs so people can live nicely. And give people hope because if they work hard they can make a better life for themselves. Responsible freedom is great, the problem is there are a lot of nefarious people who are completely irresponsbile. They are the ones causing the whole mess of corporate fascism. A few laws to keep them on an anti-fascist leash would help things. If you have no laws and just preach "responsible freedom" will everyone just go along with that? I have faith in humanity but not that much faith. The current world is living proof of how a lot of people are out to get everyone else for the almighty dollar. There are also a lot of really good people too, but not everyone is of that mindset. I love the US constitution and bill of rights. It protects people. I love that there is a minimum wage in the USA and other places. It protects people from even worse conditions. I love there are laws in the US and other places protecting the environment. I just wish they were global.
