well this is just the issue, though. fascism and liberalism arent like a quality of a particular person, like saying "Donald Trump is a Fascist and his opponent, Joseph Biden, is a Liberal".

rather, fascism and liberalism are ideologies used by the capitalist state, at different times and in different contexts. liberalism is what allows a relatively stable capitalist state to pacify workers demands with reforms, and benefits from supporting the illusion of "true democracy" to encourage workers to think of themselves as having a say in the state.

fascism, on the other hand, becomes dominant when workers are not content with reforms and are getting involved in revolutionary politics. the point of fascism is to defend capital from revolution; the fascist states of the 20th century all came out of countries with failed workers revolutions; and it was the revolutionary organizations and politically militant workers who were first targeted by these.

if you want to "organize against that [liberal] administration", i wont stop you. but you will quickly learn that the more of a threat you pose to capital, the more FASCISTIC will capital behave, no matter who was elected to defend it. biden, the most "labor-friendly" president in american history, broke the rail workers strike while citing a need for national unity in a time of war.
