The communists took over in Russia during a crisis, defeat of the Russian Empire during WWI. The Nazis took over Germany during a crisis, an economy that had never recovered from WWI and could not cope with reparations and the rest of the onerous provisions of the Treaty of Versailles.

In desperate times, people do stupid things.

Take a look at living conditions in the West Bank, especially now, and ask yourself whether young Palestinians are more likely, or less likely, to turn to Islamism.

BTW, fascism has a bad name because of Hitler, but Spain had a fascist government for over 50 years. The world managed to get along with fascist Spain, just as we are managing to get along with communist China. We don't like fascism and we don't like communism, but we manage to accommodate it.
