fascism. Terrorism is terrorism. Oppression is oppression. (Harry Belafonte)

Soriano)
- It's repellent
and tiring to me to talk about fascism again. (Benedetto Croce)

the consequence of economic jam and dictatorship is the product
of Fascism, for Fascism cannot be managed save by a dictator.

T. Flynn)
- We seem to
be a long way off from the kind of Fascism which we behold in
Italy today, but we are not so far from the kind of Fascism which
Mussolini preached in Italy before he assumed power, and we are
slowly approaching the conditions which made Fascism there possible.
(John
T. Flynn)
- Fascism: awful stench of
saw and axe. (Michel

is a silly cock crowing on his own dunghill. (Richard Aldington)
- Nationalism
is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind. (Albert Einstein)
- Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial
reasons. (Bertrand
Russell)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method
is to poison the channels of public information.
- 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.
- 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.
