Fascism in America

THe Protests as the Capitol have been wodely criticized for comparing Hitler to Walker. Perhaps this is warranted, as Walker is not killing people. We should not dilute the horror of the Holocaust by comparing it to the current Power grab in this country.

However, The Walker Administration has a lot of fascist elements. Henry Wallace wrote about the dangers of Fascism, back in the 1940's. It seems like this list was written for today. Before I knew that it was written 70 years ago, I thought that it was specifically about the current right wing power grab. I can not stress how disturbing this is.

The Tea Party is Racist, They are; they support racist policies like voter suppression. Their paranoia is being twisted around by big business to garner public support for regressive causes. This is following a pattern, and its not a good one. The supporters of Walker, the AFP, McIver Institute, Bradley institute, Koch Industries, etc. They are all on the wrong side of history. But by the time there is irrefutable evidence of this, it will be too late. The regressive pro-business anti-regulation policy of the Walker/Koch/ALEC may be enough to trigger a depression.

Remember, When Fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.
