Take into consideration, dependency.

What we're calling fascism now, is probably a lot more sophisticated than the fascism of the past (though built on it).

It's possible to smash things, but a lot more difficult to destroy things that we're dependent on, or feel dependent on

Then there's the better the devil you know. If people are so used to something harmful, they might not try to escape it, because of fear of the unknown
