This is how fascism often operates at ground level:

• When Giacomo Matteotti (an outspoken critic of Mussolini) is kidnapped and murdered, Mussolini tightens his grip, and loyal Fascists climb the ladder unchallenged.
• When Salvador Allende dies during Chile’s 1973 coup, Augusto Pinochet’s allies suddenly find themselves running the country, businesses, and media outlets - by force, not by talent.
• When Albert Einstein flees Nazi Germany due to rising antisemitism and authoritarianism, his former academic post is handed to a Nazi-approved physicist who meets ideological, not intellectual, standards.

In short:
Authoritarian regimes don’t simply suppress - they reallocate opportunity, often violently. Your advancement isn’t based on merit, it’s based on who gets silenced or disappears.
