And if one of these sides has fascistic tendencies, look out. We've been taught to fear the wrong bogeyman since shortly after the Allies won the second world war.

We didn't defeat fascism....we sent it underground for a few decades. It's a mindset.

And hard to eradicate. Wilhelm Reich wrote a book about it, and I remember his claim that all you have to do to bring out the fascist is tighten the economic screws ever so slightly. We're hard wired to be fascists he claimed.

I hate to believe that..........but recent activity around the world has me worried. Because economically, given the degree to which we're in overshoot as a planet, it can only get worse.
