Trump in Perspective: Fascism or Just More Barbarism? http://www.thenorthstar.info/?p=13187 My comment on the article. ken h While fascists have taken heart form the Trump victory, I agree with the author that we are not at the point of fascism. My understanding of fascism is that it is a mass movement and it has the capacity to engage in street combat. The relationship of forces has not gone that far, as yet. During the wonderful airport demonstrations I caught a fragment on cable TV that suggested Trump supporters were on their way to the Los Angeles airport. I heard no more about that. A strong fascist movement would have been able to mobilize anti-immigrant demonstrations at the airports, even going so far as to attack the pro-immigrant demonstrations. Again and again, since the inauguration, we have seen people in the street. The Women's March, the Yemeni bodega owners, the Day(s) Without Immigrants. No doubt there were fascists that would have wanted to attack these demonstrations. But they did not have the forces. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
