Fascism is on the rise, and fascism sympathizers the world over are
preparing themselves. After the total failure of social-democrat
social policies dependent on liberal global economics, the peoples
will come to the conclusion that the only viable alternative is
fascism. The election of Hollande in France will only drive to the
election of Marie LePen next time.

The new 1930's have started.

What fascist policy does Le Pen promote?

Now is an interesting time to read the history of the 1930s.
Notice who, in Europe, was attracted to fascism and who voiced
disapproval but colluded with its rise.

The time of polite conversation is coming to an end.
Those that will lean toward fascism - you know them,
I know them, and they know them.
*They* will silently cheer when you are rounded up.

You think La Pen is harmless - asshole?
Just remember this - all fascists were fascist 'lite' until they got
a foothold.

Here we go...

Like deja vu - all over again.

Leftist know all about, "Rounding Up", don't they, Archie. Do you
want a list of those leftists who were experts at 'Rounding Up?'

I can't speak for the French , but in England whilst we have generally
reasoned and balanced political news, the entertainment side of the
media certainly has heavily patriarchal, borderline fascistic overtones.

Whilst there's always been the Penthouse, Mayfair, Razzle, Asian Babes
etc, I think a lot of the magazines for both men AND women come over as
being incredibly materialistic, anti-relationship and promoting certain
physical beauty ideals. Conformity seems to be the word, which rather
worries me- the English eccentric and such interesting characters seems
to have been swamped by the bright, sexy but not particularly deep.

In music, even the Spice Girls (who actually expressed admiration for
Maggie) would be too "radical and revolutionary" for today's highly
conservative pop scene.

California seems to encapsulate the 1960s hippie scene turning
malignant, from nip and tuck high school kids to rapes and beatings in
overcrowded jails. I've never been outside NY though, so can't really
say what life in Hollywood's vicinity is really like. The 1980s
Hollywood seems both liberal and genteel by comparison.

A lot in the UK blame Murdoch this, but his output and influence is
generally limited to the English speaking world, and the same seems to
be happening on the continent.

Fascism and Communism were competing alternatives to "decadent
capitalism", as Mussolini referred to it. The only real difference is
one focused on class struggle and the other on national/ethnic struggle.
Both were anti-capitalist, pro-labour movements driven by workers, and
both advocated authoritarian socialist concepts. Do you agree that both
Fascism and Communism were promoted as alternatives to Capitalism?

I also remember this - all communists were communists 'lite' until
they got a foothold.

And when I read you I feel like deja vu - all over again.

Except for the facts that:
1) Socialism is on the downslope
2) Fascism is a form of national socialism
vv is pretty correct.

I would love to blame Murdoch, but the fact that only certain people
are attracted to those types of news seems to indicate that there is a
need there for those news and people like Murdoch just provide them. I
think that the problem resides in education. Here in Canada I have
been offered free subscriptions to newspapers that were once owned by
Conrad Black. Black is gone, but those papers never got back to be
worthy of reading again. One of the telemarketers pushing these
products even told me "but you don't understand: it is free for twelve
weeks and you can cancel any time." I told him that if a drug pusher
offered me free drugs for twelve weeks I would not accept it, and that
the garbage he was pushing was even worse than drugs.

I pity them, as you and I know that they will not be too far behind
us.

What archie doesn't realize is that it's socialists like him that push
towards fascism
He doesn't also realize that when the rubber meets the road, he is the one
most at risk from his fellow fascists/socialists.
But then, he is a clueless useful idiot that has historically served as
cannon fodder for the powers-that-be.
