When revealed is doing a lot of heavy lifting there and even then that is not entirely accurate to the reality of the situation. There isn't a unified response just the people likely to still be fighting against authoritarianism at any point are likely going to be left leaning in the spectrum by nature of their dissatisfaction of the current system. And even then the fighting force is generally not the leftists but the allies on other parts of the spectrum that they gain.

It's not like an Isolationist country was super excited to fight against fascism, just seemed like the right path forward with coaxing.

The issue is that leftism is incompatible with fascism. Not that leftists can't be bad or evil, they can, but leftism itself cannot coexist with fascism. However, liberalism leads to fascism eventually, and social Democracy is still fundamentally a Capitalist ideology, and is just as easy to corrupt into fascism as shown in Nazi Germany.

As compared to how hard it is to corrupt leftism into Stalinism?
