No there isn't. Fascism is used to smash an out-of-control working class. (Picture the French strikers raised to the 3rd power.) In the USA, workers are totally demobilized. There has not been a single attack on working people by the Tea Party, the Christian fundamentalists, et al. Voting for Democrats because of a "a fascist threat" is something I have heard since 1964 from the CPUSA and its friends. And every time a Democrat is elected, we get the same shit as we get from the Republicans except maybe not quite as bad. It is dreary beyond belief to hear these arguments now that we are living under Bush's 3rd term. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
