What is fascism? Here are some definitions:
An authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization. Extremely authoritarian, intolerant or oppressive ideas or behavior, very intolerant or domineering views or practices in a particular area.
The world today is leaning to this right-wing form of government. In this country the Supreme Court, the Congress and the Presidency appear to be controlled by corporate and wealthy interests using the above definitions for their own interests at the rest of the country's disadvantage.
The world today resembles the world a decade before WWII. My father and many others served to end and remove fascism from government due to its negative social effects that it brought upon the world along with the horrors of war.
Today the world is on the precipice of a third world war. The major powers are grouping against the other group or groups. These powers are nuclear powers so the war will be one in which we will be lucky to survive with 30% of life left on the planet and all government as we know it gone.
So, before you put your hopes in an authoritarian nationalistic right-wing system of government, take time to look at the not-so-distant past.
In the books, "The Lord of the Rings," JRR Tolkein described fascism in this manner: "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them."
