Before there were blogs, I used to write longer pieces to the Marxism
list and then put them up on my Columbia University website
(http://www.columbia.edu/~lnp3/mypage.htm). In 1992, Pat Buchanan ran
for President. The same concerns about a fascist threat from Trump were
raised back then. As most of you probably know, I consider Trump to be
mostly as a danger through his Executive Power that by necessity follows
bourgeois democratic norms even if he tries to game them. In this
respect, he differs little from Putin, Bolsonaro, Duterte, Orban and
Erdogan. All of the countries they rule over have elections on a regular
basis based on a multi-party system. Like Trump, they rely on media
control, Supreme Courts with their hand-picked judges, voting fraud and
all the other authoritarian techniques that people mistake for fascism.
In fact, the most openly fascist move in the USA took place in 1941 when
FDR defied the constitution and put Japanese-Americans into
concentration camps. One of our subscribers' parents were in one.
In any case, you might find this useful:
