Reply #82: Welcome to the Reich... [View All]

[Katherine Brengle]

This is so classic... When I was younger, and learning about the history of the world for the first time, I couldn't believe how people could let themselves be brought into fascist dictatorships...

Now it's becoming clear. It comes, on small step at a time, slowly weeding out opposition until it dominates... It promises safety in exchange for a little bit of freedom here and a little bit of freedom there, until you have none left, and no safety...

(BTW, I am considering writing my first book. There has been much talk around blogs and progressive news sites and whatnot about the resemblance of our current atmosphere with fascism, but it seems like no one has gone into it in full depth. If anyone has any suggestions, I am just getting started, so send 'em on over.)
