What does survival look like under fascism? History tells us that people resist in different ways — some fight, some flee, some freeze. From Hitler’s Germany to Cold War Latin America to Trump’s America, we’ll examine the lessons of democratic collapse. Drawing on Jason Stanley and Black radical thinkers, this video explores how to recognize authoritarian creep, how solidarity can keep us alive, and the haunting question: Is it time to leave?
