Shooting fascist is not a good strategy? That depends in which situation you are and the threat level. Of course that should not be considered first but well, in a fascist state you can end up in a situation when you don't have the luxury to choose.

And of course it's better if you can make it so you don't end up in that predicament.

Um… no. Italian partisans learned pretty fucking quickly that openly shooting at the odd Nazi ended in fucking reprisals where the remaining Nazis lined up people in their village or town and shot one out of 10 people as a “lesson”.

So they pivoted to hiding out in the fucking mountains, forests, and very inaccessible places, having people in town covertly spying on the Nazis, and doing covert sabotages of vehicle, supplies, etc. It was (a) more effective at thinning the Nazi ranks and (b) a way to shield bystanders from harm

Again, maybe learning a little of how actual resistance when occupied by your own or another country should be required before people start mouthing off about revolutionary actions. Even during the U.S. it wasn’t just picking up your muskets and shooting, dude.

And: while the plan carried out was a total failure, who is the guy above to tell how to resist or defeat fascists? What does he know about the people who got busted to tell them they should have not doing that?

I am not just discussing tactics or efficiency here. I am saying some dude with a tie is giving lessons to them most likely without knowing the protagonists, their lives, their motives.
