To be the devil’s advocate, people elected nazis around the apparition of tv, so i don’t think social medias truly are a necessity for fascism to proliferate. That being said, they can still have a major impact.
In Hitler’s time, there was only radio, but Goebbels, his PR man, knew how to use it to great effect. His books are sometimes still read today in PR training courses because PR is just another word for propaganda, and Goebbels is considered one of the fathers of this discipline.
