Nazi germany is usually the only example people have. If we are to teach what it is, we need to give a wider explanation and other examples.

Check Benito Mussolini, or Franco, Hiro Hito, or Allende, or Chavez, Stalin, Mao, Red Khmers, Al Assad, Amin Dada, Apartheid, Talibans, Dutertre, Castelo Branco, Papadopoulos, Kabila, ...

Communism was the ideology.
Fascist were the Soviet multiple tyrannies

We need to improve education so people are given a wider picture of all this, of course doing so would .probably prevent people like trump getting anywhere near office.

So those in power won't let that happen as they want those values for some people in office to get in without being noticed.
