Fascism Will Come At The Hands Of

But Fascism Cannot Continue In A Modified Form.

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.

In Different Countries The Basis Of Resistance Takes Different Forms, But It Comes Chiefly From The Conservative Groups. Hence It Becomes Increasingly Difficult To Go On Spending In The Presence Of Persisting Deficits And Rising Debt. Some Form Of Spending Must Be Found That Will Command The Support Of The Conservative Groups. Political Leaders, Embarrassed By Their Subsidies To The Poor, Soon Learned That One Of The Easiest Ways To Spend Money Is On Military Establishments And Armaments, Because It Commands The Support Of The Groups Most Opposed To Spending.

Fascism Is Not The Result Of Dictatorship.
