    want to preserve the status quo,

    No different than liberals, then.

    Fascists want to subvert democracy

    All institutionalized political power is violently anti-democratic - it’s literally why you are forced to pay for violent paramilitaries to police you and protect the status quo from anything that can be called democratic with a straight face.

    Fascists are not unique in that regards.

    and install a completely new status quo

    The capitalists that funded Hitler and Mussolini into power did not do so because fascists “install a completely new status quo.” The CIA didn’t fund fascists into power all over the third world during the Cold War because fascists “install a completely new status quo.”

    They funded fascists into power because fascists protect the status quo. You know… the status quo liberals and conservatives all love so much?

      Liberals can be conservatives. Opposite of conservatives are reformists.

      Is voting anti-democratic? Because voting is political institution of democracy.
