This is a highly hypothetical scenario since only one third of the population of a country at most will fight in support of fascism. But if you're a humanist you should have an answer to what happens if they become the majority, such as if they get to the point of killing everyone different.
If we picture a world made up of two billion fascists and three billion collaborators, and you fighting for democracy in this world, then you're killing people to defend an ideology. You're not saving more people than you're killing, unless you really believe you can restore order to the world and save more lives in the long run, and even that is a questionable proposition. From a humanist standpoint, I cannot figure out a way to defend this. You'd have to fight fascism nonviolently, argue against this ideology strategically constructed to defeat arguments, protest for human rights and get executed, sad because this world apparently has no place for humanity in it.
