Fascism Is The Consequence Of Economic Jam

This Most Dangerous Enemy Is The American Counterpart Of The British Fabian Socialist, Who Denies That He Is A Socialist And Operates Behind A Mask Which He Calls National Planning.

Fascism Will Come At The Hands Of Perfectly Authentic Americans.

But No One Can Praise Roosevelt For Doing This And Then Insist That He Restored Our Traditional Political And Economic Systems To Their Former Vitality.

No Matter What The Cause, Even Though It Be To Conquer With Tanks And Planes And Modern Artillery Some Defenseless Black Population, There Will Be No Lack Of Poets And Preachers And Essayists And Philosophers To Invent The Necessary Reasons And Gild The Infamy With Righteousness. To This Righteousness There Is, Of Course, Never An Adequate Reply. Thus A War To End Poverty Becomes An Unanswerable Enterprise. For Who Can Decently Be For Poverty? To Even Debate Whether The War Will End Poverty Becomes An Exhibition Of Ugly Pragmatism And The Sign Of An Ignoble Mind.

But Alas, The Most Terrifying Aspect Of The Whole Fascist Episode Is The Dark Fact That Most Of Its Poisons Are Generated Not By Evil Men Or Evil Peoples, But By Quite Ordinary Men In Search Of An Answer To The Baffling Problems That Beset Every Society.
