The Impossible Promise: Are We Witnessing the Return of Fascism?
THE GUARDIAN: Some of today’s far right is openly violent and undemocratic – and even in its less extreme forms, far-right populism is a profound threat. But that doesn’t mean it is just a re-run of history
…
EXTRACT:
Fascism emerged in the 20th century, amid societies that were scarred by the violence of the first world war and the instability, hunger and mass unemployment that trailed in its wake and where a growing workers’ movement threatened to wrest power from trad¬itional governing elites. In response to a feeling of national humiliation or betrayal, fascism promised national rebirth through the violent cleansing of enemies at home, and imperial conquest abroad, in return for abandoning democracy. Its base lay among the frustrated lower middle classes, but it rapidly gained cross-class support. Its supporters were organised into parties with uniformed paramilitary wings. They operated in what Paxton called an “uneasy but effective collaboration” with traditional governing elites, for whom fascism was a way to maintain order and crush the left. (Those elites were wrong: they saw fascism as their attack dog, but it ate them alive.)

How You Can Stop Fascism When Voting Isn't Enough
One of the greatest problems is that our politicians since Thatcher and the ‘Old Gipper’ have been too scared to tax these bastards. These people should never have been allowed to amass this enormous wealth at the expense of the rest of us. All meaningful sacrifices in paying taxation are made by the lower and middle classes. These billionaires either pay no tax at all or they pay so little that they cannot feel it. Ordinary people feel it alright! Our politicians need to grow a pair! There are too many weak politicians bereft of gonads! – © Mark Alexander
