killing the broken cells.  You can't just scatter them and have them
blend into healthy tissue.  But you_can_  scatter the families/groups
and have them blend into a healthy society."

Some constituents of a fascist society can be scattered, but some members, esp. 
the leaders or those guilty of `war crimes' get hunted down.  Cells form the 
organisms be compared to, so it is not surprising that they are more easily 
discarded.  (Ok, the difference in scale makes a lot of this silly.)  And in 
human illness, there is more of distinction between the host and the non-host.  
The winner writes history and declares itself the `host'; a brain tumor would 
not be called `an alternative point of view'.
