    Nuremberg trials happened because an alliance of antifascist countries fought hard at great cost to take the fascists down with the help of organized resistance inside. Today we don’t seem to have any of the prerequisites.

      Imagine invading the Americas. Hope you got allies in canada, central and or south America to establish a beachhead (assuming they havent been occupied).

      D day only had to cross the channel and it was a immense effort.

      There are precedents from a few different countries that fought to overthrow a tyrannical government and then had to sort out how to deal with recovering and rebuilding their politics and society in whatever form. Chile, Argentina, South Africa, or Ukraine might be better models than postwar Germany.

      There is also this: https://www.files.ethz.ch/isn/126900/8008_FDTD.pdf which is based on absolutely exhaustive real world research about what does and doesn’t work, and is highly regarded in a ton of activist communities outside the US (and for some reason almost unknown inside it.)
