Cute, clever, but let's get rid of Nazi references (unless they're to actual Nazis). ^^^^ CB: No, start pointing out the parallel between fascist economic policies and the Tea Party. The class politics of the Nazis should be brought to the fore, just as this article does. This internet notion that Nazis can't be referred to anymore is really off now. Has been for a long time, but it's getting more and more out of touch with reality. There may not be a danger of open terrorist rule , but in Wisconsin etc , the Tea Party is "civily" doing a Mussolini-like or Nazi-like attack on trade union rights. The Fascists were arch-anti-working class in the first place, anti-Communist. The historical comparison is very apt and should not be discouraged. No other historical example has the potential to bring the shock necessary to wake people up....maybe. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
