At nearly 4,500 words, Paul Street’s article titled “The Anatomy of
Fascism Denial
<https://www.counterpunch.org/2021/02/07/the-anatomy-of-fascism-denial/>”
is just the first half of a polemic against those on the left who do not
share his analysis that Trump was an imminent fascist threat.
This is part of a campaign he has been waging for the better part of
four years. It started off harmlessly enough by focusing on Trump’s bad
behavior. Yes, he wasn’t breaking any new ground but at least his heart
was in the right place. It was only in the last year that our intrepid
radical journalist’s campaign began to take on an obsessive character.
Like Noam Chomsky and other “lesser evil” voices, Street began to make
voting for Biden /a sine qua non/ for the left. I never paid much
attention to his daily blizzards of FB posts defending this position
until one showed up that was obviously an attack on me. My support for
Howie Hawkins had gotten under his skin to such a degree that he flamed
me as an effete, well-off yuppie who was helping to elect someone as bad
as Hitler, or maybe even worse.
