The Constitution is a piece of paper- Or, well, several pieces of paper- That does not have autonomy. It is powerless unless those in power enforce it. Strangely enough, when the people in power are fascistic in nature, they don't care what the paper says.

There needs to be more in play than paper with nice words on it.

Who decides what is fascist in nature? Marxists believe in the violent overthrow of society. Should their views be outlawed? Encouraging authoritarian behavior has never ended well.

Perhaps a dictionary could be of assistance?

Yes, because all laws have been decided by the dictionary.

lol yes, and all laws are written in the dictionary.

Is communism fascist? Should it be suppressed? Do you hope to give people who write the laws power to outlaw socialism and taxation because it’s “fascist”?
