The Line Between Fascism And Fabian Socialism

I Think We Have To Be Fair In Saying At This Point That Neither Roosevelt Nor Lewis Realized The Peril To Which They Were Exposing Both The Unions And The Country.

All That Is Needed To Set Us Definitely On The Road To A Fascist Society Is War. It Will Of Course Be A Modified Form Of Fascism At First.

Imperialism Is An Institution Under Which One Nation Asserts The Right To Seize The Land Or At Least To Control The Government Or Resources Of Another People.

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.

The Line Between Fascism And Fabian Socialism Is Very Thin. Fabian Socialism Is The Dream. Fascism Is Fabian Socialism Plus The Inevitable Dictator.
