This article is riddled with fallacies.

1) Because a government can implement a genocide, a region with no government won't be subject to genocide. (See historical territorial annexations.)

2) Because the Wiemar Republic's constitution was based on the U.S. constitution and fell victim to fascism, all nation's whose constitutions were based on the U.S. constitution may fall victim to fascism.

3) Winston Churchill's defines democracy [as]..eight times better than any other.

4) Because "democracy" is eight times better than any other government, and democracy is vulnerable to morph into fascism, any form of government may morph into fascism.

5) Similarly, because Nazi Germany was fascist and committed genocide, all fascist governments will commit genocide.

There may be arguments for anarchism, but this one isn't very solid.
