Manufacturing Mass Fascism Hysteria

Fascists – who choose to believe in inequality and make alliances / allegiances with oppressors and abusers who have power and rule – can be anyone. They can be idiots or presidents. They can be uncaring investors or journos or teachers or barking at the moon crazy. Being an idiot does ‘not’ exclude you from the nazi camp. There are LOTS of fascists around. And it IS a problem.

In western countries, and the wider world, people have had to endure years and decades of neoliberal austerity and ever expanding inequality with little respite in sight. This is the new normal.
This has benefited a tiny minority, as it was designed to do.
Britain is owned and ruled by 5,000 people, America by a group of 6,000.
3 billionaires own more than the bottom 160 million of the US population.
Corporations like Boeing, Google, Amazon, Starbucks and others have successfully exempted themselves from taxation.
The lot of the vast majority of their populations has been static and declining wages and living standards, the erosion of job security, benefits, pensions, and the shredding of public services on which they depend.
These people no longer have any stake in a system which clearly does not work for their benefit.

At the same time, the Globalist Power Elite have imposed post modernist social policies which do not resonate with the majority and are strongly opposed by them.
The relentless pursuit of a failed multiculturalism.
Open Borders and uncontrolled Third World immigration with the clear objective of demographic replacement.
The imposition of Globo Homo, the aggressive, militant, politicised, campaigning gay agenda.
The aggressive promotion of perversion and degeneracy of all kinds, particularly targeting very young children, with draconian punishments for all who object.
Transgender dysphoria, paedophilia, incest, bestiality.
All of this provoking revulsion and increasing alienation.

These economic and social policies were bound to provoke a reaction.
This has thrown up Trump, Brexit, Salvini, Orban, Le Pen, AFD, Sweden Democrats, and much else besides. This is only to be expected.
This is all partly a response to anti white racism. White people are evil. White people should be marginalised and ignored because of their white privilege. White people should ideally disappear, to be replaced by hordes of unassimilable third world invaders.
Some other manifestations are merely Zionist Controlled Opposition, like the EDL and Wilders in Holland.

The future is one of increasingly fractious confrontation between mutually antagonistic groups without any prospect of compromise and consensus. Societies are becoming increasingly turbulent and unstable, and support for the power elites and the systems that sustain them is dwindling away rapidly.

How does the saying go? ‘Satire is the truth wrapped in exaggeration’? Something to this extend.

The most important part about the divide and conquer game played by the owner class has to be the psychological projection that is dished out by the real fascists. They never wear jackboots, or brown shirts. They also don’t display their heads closely shaved, or march around in lockstep. The real fascists make others do that. They write the script.

One of the greatest politicians the U.S. ever had was Henry A. Wallace. He was the vice president of Franklin D. Roosevelt. He had the majority support of the American population. But not of his own party. The Democratic party. The DNC had other plans. They wanted Truman, because Wallace would have never dropped the nukes on Japan. Wallace was for the American people and that much more convincingly than a Bernie Sanders. He understood the needs of the working class. His stated goal was to make America a Nation where everybody would have an equal chance to make it. That did not sit too well with the owner class that had to agree to the New Deal under Roosevelt. It was not an option to continue along this line. He was ousted. The nomination stolen under great uproar of the working class. Character defamation was also used. The whole nine yard of fascist practices.

Since that event, Americans have been brainwashed into believing that ‘socialism’ is bad for them. Is bad for everybody. ‘Experts’ that offered their voluntary help in the manipulation of the American people were imported from Germany. The real Nazis, not the little people. They created the first Russiagate story, which at the time was called ‘House Committee on Un-American Activities’. It is rancid irony, that only few people ever figured out that ‘Un-American Activities’ were a metaphor for ‘Anti-Fascism’. It is even more ironic, that the real fascists have created ‘antifa’ – the Orwellian version of true anti-fascism. The saddest part about that is, that those who march with ‘antifa’ are following the real fascists orders. They are divided into those paid by various ABC agencies and those who believe they are indeed fighting fascism. Which is not only extremely delusional, but also very dangerous.
Their opposing side on the other hand is homogeneous rightwing. One could call them ultra-conservatives, or right of right. That does not make them fascists though. Anybody that takes a closer look at this inciting of a civil war by riling up two opposing factions will find out that it is all by design of the real fascists. Those have no specific party affiliation. Or better: they are bi-partisan. The real fascists are in both ‘parties’.
Here comes the 1944 essay by Henry A. Wallace about ‘The American fascist’:

1. On returning from my trip to the West in February, I received a request from The New York Times to write a piece answering the following questions:
1. What is a fascist?
2. How many fascists have we?
3. How dangerous are they?

1. A fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends. The supreme god of a fascist, to which his ends are directed, may be money or power; may be a race or a class; may be a military, clique or an economic group; or may be a culture, religion, or a political party.

The perfect type of fascist throughout recent centuries has been the Prussian Junker, who developed such hatred for other races and such allegiance to a military clique as to make him willing at all times to engage in any degree of deceit and violence necessary to place his culture and race astride the world. In every big nation of the world are at least a few people who have the fascist temperament. Every Jew-baiter, every Catholic hater, is a fascist at heart. The hoodlums who have been desecrating churches, cathedrals and synagogues in some of our larger cities are ripe material for fascist leadership.

The obvious types of American fascists are dealt with on the air and in the press. These demagogues and stooges are fronts for others. Dangerous as these people may be, they are not so significant as thousands of other people who have never been mentioned. The really dangerous American fascists are not those who are hooked up directly or indirectly with the Axis. The FBI has its finger on those. The dangerous American fascist is the man who wants to do in the United States in an American way what Hitler did in Germany in a Prussian way. The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power.

2. If we define an American fascist as one who in case of conflict puts money and power ahead of human beings, then there are undoubtedly several million fascists in the United States. There are probably several hundred thousand if we narrow the definition to include only those who in their search for money and power are ruthless and deceitful. Most American fascists are enthusiastically supporting the war effort. They are doing this even in those cases where they hope to have profitable connections with German chemical firms after the war ends. They are patriotic in time of war because it is to their interest to be so, but in time of peace they follow power and the dollar wherever they may lead.
3. American fascism will not be really dangerous until there is a purposeful coalition among the cartelists, the deliberate poisoners of public information, and those who stand for the K.K.K. type of demagoguery.

The European brand of fascism will probably present its most serious postwar threat to us via Latin America. The effect of the war has been to raise the cost of living in most Latin American countries much faster than the wages of labor. The fascists in most Latin American countries tell the people that the reason their wages will not buy as much in the way of goods is because of Yankee imperialism. The fascists in Latin America learn to speak and act like natives. Our chemical and other manufacturing concerns are all too often ready to let the Germans have Latin American markets, provided the American companies can work out an arrangement which will enable them to charge high prices to the consumer inside the United States. Following this war, technology will have reached such a point that it will be possible for Germans, using South America as a base, to cause us much more difficulty in World War III than they did in World War II. The military and landowning cliques in many South American countries will find it attractive financially to work with German fascist concerns as well as expedient from the standpoint of temporary power politics.

Fascism is a worldwide disease. Its greatest threat to the United States will come after the war, either via Latin America or within the United States itself.

Still another danger is represented by those who, paying lip service to democracy and the common welfare, in their insatiable greed for money and the power which money gives, do not hesitate surreptitiously to evade the laws designed to safeguard the public from monopolistic extortion. American fascists of this stamp were clandestinely aligned with their German counterparts before the war, and are even now preparing to resume where they left off, after “the present unpleasantness” ceases:

The symptoms of fascist thinking are colored by environment and adapted to immediate circumstances. But always and everywhere they can be identified by their appeal to prejudice and by the desire to play upon the fears and vanities of different groups in order to gain power. It is no coincidence that the growth of modern tyrants has in every case been heralded by the growth of prejudice. It may be shocking to some people in this country to realize that, without meaning to do so, they hold views in common with Hitler when they preach discrimination against other religious, racial or economic groups. Likewise, many people whose patriotism is their proudest boast play Hitler’s game by retailing distrust of our Allies and by giving currency to snide suspicions without foundation in fact.

The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism. They use every opportunity to impugn democracy. They use isolationism as a slogan to conceal their own selfish imperialism. They cultivate hate and distrust of both Britain and Russia. They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.

Several leaders of industry in this country who have gained a new vision of the meaning of opportunity through co-operation with government have warned the public openly that there are some selfish groups in industry who are willing to jeopardize the structure of American liberty to gain some temporary advantage. We all know the part that the cartels played in bringing Hitler to power, and the rule the giant German trusts have played in Nazi conquests. Monopolists who fear competition and who distrust democracy because it stands for equal opportunity would like to secure their position against small and energetic enterprise. In an effort to eliminate the possibility of any rival growing up, some monopolists would sacrifice democracy itself.

It has been claimed at times that our modern age of technology facilitates dictatorship. What we must understand is that the industries, processes, and inventions created by modern science can be used either to subjugate or liberate. The choice is up to us. The myth of fascist efficiency has deluded many people. It was Mussolini’s vaunted claim that he “made the trains run on time.” In the end, however, he brought to the Italian people impoverishment and defeat. It was Hitler’s claim that he eliminated all unemployment in Germany. Neither is there unemployment in a prison camp.

Democracy to crush fascism internally must demonstrate its capacity to “make the trains run on time.” It must develop the ability to keep people fully employed and at the same time balance the budget. It must put human beings first and dollars second. It must appeal to reason and decency and not to violence and deceit. We must not tolerate oppressive government or industrial oligarchy in the form of monopolies and cartels. As long as scientific research and inventive ingenuity outran our ability to devise social mechanisms to raise the living standards of the people, we may expect the liberal potential of the United States to increase. If this liberal potential is properly channeled, we may expect the area of freedom of the United States to increase. The problem is to spend up our rate of social invention in the service of the welfare of all the people.

The worldwide, agelong struggle between fascism and democracy will not stop when the fighting ends in Germany and Japan. Democracy can win the peace only if it does two things:

1. Speeds up the rate of political and economic inventions so that both production and, especially, distribution can match in their power and practical effect on the daily life of the common man the immense and growing volume of scientific research, mechanical invention and management technique.
2. Vivifies with the greatest intensity the spiritual processes which are both the foundation and the very essence of democracy.

The moral and spiritual aspects of both personal and international relationships have a practical bearing which so-called practical men deny. This dullness of vision regarding the importance of the general welfare to the individual is the measure of the failure of our schools and churches to teach the spiritual significance of genuine democracy. Until democracy in effective enthusiastic action fills the vacuum created by the power of modern inventions, we may expect the fascists to increase in power after the war both in the United States and in the world.

Fascism in the postwar inevitably will push steadily for Anglo-Saxon imperialism and eventually for war with Russia. Already American fascists are talking and writing about this conflict and using it as an excuse for their internal hatreds and intolerances toward certain races, creeds and classes.

It should also be evident that exhibitions of the native brand of fascism are not confined to any single section, class or religion. Happily, it can be said that as yet fascism has not captured a predominant place in the outlook of any American section, class or religion. It may be encountered in Wall Street, Main Street or Tobacco Road. Some even suspect that they can detect incipient traces of it along the Potomac. It is an infectious disease, and we must all be on our guard against intolerance, bigotry and the pretension of invidious distinction. But if we put our trust in the common sense of common men and “with malice toward none and charity for all” go forward on the great adventure of making political, economic and social democracy a practical reality, we shall not fail.

My recommendation to reform the American society is to replace the pledge of allegiance with the mandatory reading of this essay.

Since I will be visiting Berlin sometime next year, I will take You up on Your invite. One of my favorite spots is the ‘Golgatha’. Having lived Bergmann/Nostitzstrasse it was my favorite outdoor location.
