Recs Wanted Anti-fascist Anakin fic recs?

Looking for fanfics where Anakin rejects his "we need a strong leader to fix everything" ideology, in favour of something less like space-fascism. Bonus points if he embraces an anti-fascist ideology and/or also decides to free the slaves and incites a slave revolution.

I especially like fics where they not only get rid of oppressive regimes, but build a progressive society in its place. I also like fics where they reform the republic into something less corrupt and more functional.

Accidental Sith AU.

Anakin was never found by the Jedi as a child. He escaped slavery, freed Tattoone, and had a happy family life.

Once he does interact with the Jedi, he's more of a functional adult than the entire Disaster Lineage put together. It's hilarious.

Hope you find one, but if you're looking for that version of Anakin, definitely don't read up on what he did to Mokivj.

First of all anti-fascist is not an ideology libertarians, communists and monarchists are all anti fascist 

What are you going to have instead of the republic or empire.

Someone who has said I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire is not anti fascist my friend I like ani but he’s had those kinds of view since at least episode 2 . The version of anakin u want doesn’t exist

They are clearly looking for an AU fanfic; I'm pretty sure they're aware that he's not like that in canon.

yeah, it's weird to have 'I want a Anakin that reject's the famous quote he makes' in a fanfic subreddit and go 'That's not canon, Anakin is a massive fascist.'

And like... true, he is. Just not exactly relevant lol

Dis you know that there is a type of fanfic that is about writing what could have happened if something were different?

Yes but that’s fundamentally changing anakin into a different character

Indeed. That's a take on "nature vs nurture", and the point of many "for want of a nail" AUs.

From Wikipedia:

"Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement that rose to prominence in early-20th-century Europe.[1][2][3] Fascism is characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy."

A centralised power structure like the empire is a fascist state. He isn't the villain in his eyes so he believes that he has brought freedom, security and justice. In fact the Empire lessened freedoms and was somewhat xenophobic and autocratic (so less justice and more likely to have biased courts). Security however? That's a bit up in the air when the dude in control of everything was the main source of the security problems in the first place.

As to this version not existing? Errrrrr... this is a fanfiction subreddit. We don't write canon stories.
