Point of correction: I support a range of measures that may include military operations. But if history of fascism can offer any guidance: this beast can be killed more effectively before it grabs the state power. Thus preventive measures, such as support for moderate and left-wing elements can offer a viable alternative to fascist mobilization (the carrot approach) while tactical elimination of fascist militants and thier upper class supporters (the stick approach that may involve tactical military assaults) can be much more effective than a frontal military assault.
