At the risk of explaining the joke, you're not far off. Become an organizer at your workplace/apartment complex/community. Creating working class solidarity is the best way to fight against fascism. If you have extra time on your hands, you can volunteer at your local polling place, join a local group of antifascists that infiltrate fascist communities, or lobby government to make changes like making it easier to vote. There's a lot of options, but none of them are particularly easy to accomplish.

Creating working class solidarity

You guys say that about everything

"Man my back hurts today"

"It would hurt a lot less if you organized your fellow proletariats to overthrow the bourgeoisie"

Tell me more about how solidarity isn't the answer to fight fascism.

When all you have is a hammer...

So what you're saying is that a group of working class people creating coalitions, community resources, mutual aid, etc won't be a good deterrent from fascism? The best way to fight fascism is to remove the material conditions that lead to people becoming fascists.
