A great essay from Carl Benjamin. Using Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" to explain what is fascism, and what it is not.

I guess we accept that democracy theoretically means the majority get their will and the minority have to accept it. This is the status quo. So I guess the fascism shows its face when the minority won't accept it. We see this when people riot, like the ongoing protests in Paris. But the premise here is that fascism is not the response of the state to public disorder but the actions of the state that initiate violence.

'War makes fascists of us all', it says. I think he means we have to force individuals to fight for the survival of the group when it is threatened, whether those individuals like it or not.

Yes!

It does show how Fascism uses militarization to size control with the use of overt fear!

trump and his republican Fascists cohorts are using their fascists agenda to militarize the police to take over of the judicial system to legalize their illicit, fraudulent, and illegal acts against the people of this country!

I agree that Trump and pence,... are would be kings.

The problem is nearly half the people in the US want a daddy to tell them everything will be alright.

Still, I'd rather be here than anywhere else.
