I don't know if anything's changed. But I like Eco's
It seems one has to infer what fascism is from societies that have been
called by someone at some point 'fascist', along with an evaluation of
whether it was an accurate characterisation at the time (which is somewhat
paradoxical).

Hmm I thought to be a Libertarian you needed to know the Duodecimal system,
able to stamp books with a rubber date stamp, and promise to return books
on time. And if you work for the unseen university be good with penuts.

The real issue is not neutrality but QoS -- Quality of Service. I *want*
