On fascism and our response to it

In the 1930s and 40s, the greatest threat to humanity was Naziism. From the 1950s to the 1980s, it was nuclear annihilation from the US-USSR Cold War that threatened us with extinction. Now, there is a new threat. However, it is not the threat that the Bush junta would like us to believe. bin Laden is a monster to be sure, but the US created him. They armed and trained him. And, everytime the US threatens him, "stands up" to him, they make him more powerful. No, the biggest threat to world peace and security right now is the fascist Bush junta.


We are living in a time where the threat of fascism is real, and the largest such threat is from the United States. I have published articles on this blog that relate to the current threat of fascism. Make no mistake, it is real, and it is the greatest threat to the rights and freedoms we enjoy. One of the articles I published outlined 14 characteristics of fascism, and you may notice that a number of these characteristics apply to the Bush junta. For example, the suppression of civil liberties, creating a fervor of blind patriotism, the supremacy of the military within the workings of government, coporate control of the media, fear-based obsessing with national security, and fraudulent elections.

This is a time where we must take a stand for peace and security, for international law, for human rights, for justice, both in the Western world and abroad, before we lose it. When we are criticized for being traitors, or being anti-American, we must respond to that. We must not respond with hate of our own, but we must put the lie to such garbage by pointing out that it is out of our love and respect for American people that we criticize their government. Anti-Bush does not mean anti-American; we must emphasize that. Furthermore, we cannot be afraid to put the word "fascism" in reference to the Bush junta. That is exactly what it is, and driving the point home will hopefully wake people up.
