Plan A: Isolate the country and after a while the people of that country will be tried of being pariahs and work to get themselves out of being fascist. This worked on Franco’s fascist movement in Spain. But this method can take a long time (generations) but it’s the preferred method since there’s less bloodshed and that is limited to be within the fascist country. Problem is, the fascist country may attack another country which necessitates going to Plan B.
Plan B: All out war. Populations are mobilized, nations become entirely focused on war. Cities bombed to rubble, millions dead. Only after extreme hardship people in a fascist country will accept they aren’t superior to other countries (as the propaganda told them they were) and agree to unconditional surrender. This allows other countries to restructure their political system, and for participation in the fascist movement be prohibited.
Yes, I mentioned it takes a long time - generations. And if by “let him be” you mean nobody went to war with Franco, then yes, that’s why it’s Plan A, the option that doesn’t involve all out war.
Are you looking for an option where the US can quickly end it’s fascist movement? Unless you have a time machine and can go back in time and convince more people to vote for Kamala Harris, then I got nothing for ya. Best case is, the US is Franco’s Spain and it’s going to suck for decades. Worst case the US is WWII Germany, and it’s going to really suck, though for a much shorter period of time.
I love Germany, but Germany is a democracy. The US isn’t. 70%+ of Americans want universal healthcare, but “our” politicians shit on us and laugh. Most Americans want free college, but again, we get zero representation. We want unions, but companies freely fire workers for organizing and our politicians don’t care. South Dakota voted to legalize marijuana but the governor told the people they were too stupid to know what they voted for so she had one of the judges she appointed overrule democracy.
I could go on and on and on. Anyone who thinks the US is a democracy is extremely ignorant on the issue. Merely voting isn’t a democracy. A representative democracy is only a democracy if the representatives serve the will of the majority.
So get back to me when German politicians start ignoring everything the voters want and start gutting all of their public programs instead and then when politicians who promise to help get elected but do absolutely fucking nothing to help you
Education can only be used, when there is a side willing to learn. When they disregard history as fiction, there is no point in educating them. You can also see this with the right Shift in rhetoric in German Media and politics with parties Like AfD, BSW and partly CDU, who are straight Up ignoring history or downplaying it.
How have fascists typically been successfully handled by the international community in the past?
There’s only two methods.
Plan A: Isolate the country and after a while the people of that country will be tried of being pariahs and work to get themselves out of being fascist. This worked on Franco’s fascist movement in Spain. But this method can take a long time (generations) but it’s the preferred method since there’s less bloodshed and that is limited to be within the fascist country.

I dunno if Franco’s Spain is a good example. Post-WW2, the US and its western allies mostly let him be. He was a reliable anti-communist, after all.
The regime ended when he died.

And both of those options require removing us bases from foreign countries lmao
Look at Germany, education is the answer.
edit: I was wrong, I don’t know the answer also I learned America is not a democracy.

Germany is your example of a fascist state that didn’t require violence to bring under control?
