In response to this photo, I
wrote, “I think the neocons started to sweat when people began identifying them
correctly as fascists, so the Frank Luntz bunch decided to destroy the word ‘fascism.’
Make it mean everything so it
means nothing. Simple.
So we got nonsense terms like ‘Islamofascism’
and ‘liberal fascism’ — anything to distract people from the reality of
fascism, which is marked by nationalism, militarism, sexism, racism, repression
of labor, worship of corporate power, controlled mass media, contempt for
intellectuals and education, religiosity used for political manipulation,
rampant cronyism and corruption, fraudulent elections, obsession with national
security and the destruction of civil liberties. They can’t have people
recognizing the suspects in that criminal lineup.
Val Adams replied, “Never thought
of the situation on that large a scale, but do think you have a valid point!”
That’s a compliment of which I’m particularly proud.
