The fascism screenshot says nothing about increased production

[realpolitic]

It says: Workers have a 200% rate. I have seen nothing thay says unit production is increased. If that's true, the increased rate compensates for the potential workers that are wiped out by the pop loss. The other features make it less useful than Communism.

[Saint Marcus]

why would unit production be increased?

I always believed it was the worker rate that was up.

[Gramphos]

Where did anyone state that unitproduction would be increased?

I've never seen anything indicating that.

All I remember hearing about possitive stuff in Facism is much more unit support, Faster workers, and a good corruption killer (But not as good as Old Democracy or New Communism).

Sounds worse than Communism to me.

Lots and lots of free units.

[Louis XXIV]

10 free units per metropolis.

Workers work faster

No War Weariness

But Cities don't produce culture until you have the population majority and you loose pop when you switch to the government (captured cities loose pop as well)

[realpolitic]

My strategy is to swicth to Republic early, keep my units/city ratio pretty low by disbanding to build courthouses etc. I've used Communism late in the game only when war weariness hits. Seems to work well even at Diety, so I won't be using fascism much.

They need to make Democracy worse for warmongering or else there's never any reason to switch. I upped the unit support to 3 gold per unit for Democracy, but it's still way too easy to warmonger away for turn after turn using Democracy. Without any incentive to switch, I won't, especially if I'm playing a non-Religious Civ.

Is the worker action really that important? If you get fascism at about the ssame time as communism most of your country is (should be!!! ) railroaded/mined etc.

It will speed up the clearing of pollution

As you "liberate" poor countries without coal/iron access (and therefore no rails), ... or rebuilding from pillaged land of others (they being not so "poor"), ... or (as already mentioned) pollution clean-up.

IOW, if there is an "advantage", I will find a use for it!

Main use of double speed workers will almost certiantely be instant-railing to the front lines.

Double speed workers + Replacement Parts is bound to equal 1 normal worker turn needed to upgrade a road to a rail.
