Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Fascism Is Not a Person

We must focus on the nature of fascism


Holocaust Survivor Stephen B. Jacobs




Many people on the left want to focus on just one person:  Trump.  This is a mistake.  As the holocaust survivor quoted here maintains, it is unlikely Trump even understands the concept of fascism.  And yet, according to Stephen B. Jacobs, Trump is considered to be an enabler of fascism by many of his followers.

This is a subject I have delved into here before.   As Mr. Jacobs makes clear, this is a matter of urgent importance.  Please do not assume, dear reader, that someone else is looking after this problem.  Everyone is important and can have an influence.  I am not talking about countering violence with violence, but rather about knowing as much about the history of fascism as possible so one can recognize it when it crops up and oppose it.
