If you're choosing it, it's not a fascist authoritarian regime.
And yes, people need resources to live, and unless they've already accumulated great wealth, that means they have to either work (via the free market), or steal (via fascism/socialism).
As Frédéric Bastiat wrote 170 years ago, the need to acquire resources is the nature of reality, not a circumstance that exists only because some authoritarian force imposes it.
"Man recoils from trouble, from suffering; and yet he is condemned by nature to the suffering of privation, if he does not take the trouble to work. He has to choose, then, between these two evils. What means can he adopt to avoid both? There remains now, and there will remain, only one way, which is, to enjoy the labor of others. Such a course of conduct prevents the trouble and the satisfaction from preserving their natural proportion, and causes all the trouble to become the lot of one set of persons, and all the satisfaction that of another. This is the origin of slavery and of plunder, whatever its form may be - whether that of wars, imposition, violence, restrictions, frauds, etc. - monstrous abuses, but consistent with the thought which has given them birth. Oppressors should be detested and resisted - they can hardly be called absurd."
