Yipe! WHo made you the conceptual blurring police, Jan? Fact: nearly all fascist regimes used us-vs-them demonization int order to create an imagined need to "all unify and work together." That is what fascism MEANS.
It comes from the fasci symbol of ancient Rome, adopted by the first fascist, benito mussolini. An axe blade held by a bundle of tightly bound sticks, each one fragile by itself but strong when united in uniform purpose. The symbol is inherently about showing a strong united face to threatening outsiders. Other nations? SUre. But they more often chose Communists and Jews. and other races... enemies within... because by demonizing them you got to not only strengthen the army but the interior ministry and secret police. --- Jan Coffey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Gautam Mukunda > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > Fool, let me suggest something.
