Hi Stephen P. King
The word "must" implies forcible persuasion.
Hi,
But the use of force to persuade is not the essence of fascism.
Fascism is a governing system where the population can own property
privately but the use of said property is dictated by the State. Most
countries are fascistic.

knowledge of the things of the world without the bridge of greek
philosophy. Mind-soul and matter became two separate realms.
Common sense or the Nous were not a matter of science and reason,
like in the greek philosophy (what is reasonable included what
makes common sense, just like it is now in common parlancy), but a
matter of the individual spirit under the firm umbrela of the
biblical revelation. The problem is that this umbrela
progressively dissapeared, and with it, common sense. That gave a
nihilistic relativism as a consequience. With the exception of
USA, where common sense is still supported by the faith.

political religion. This political religion was teist at the
beginning (As is not in USA) laater deist and now is materialist,
following a path of progressive reduction to accomodate the
progressive secularization (which indeed was a logical consequence
of the nominalism and the proliferation of faiths that the reform
gave birth).
