“Liberalism is fundamentally an ideology of liberation that has throughout history risen in protest against the totalitarian and anti-human movements of various kinds, such as communism and nazism. It is therefore natural that the Progress Party with its liberal base once again stands first in the line and takes up the fight when a new fascist ideology as Islamism is spreading throughout the world.” WorldFirstsHumansKindFightingNaturalLinesPartyProgressMovementVariousIdeologyCommunismLiberationLiberalismProtestRisenFascistsNazism Author:Carl I.

“It's not the possibility of Stalinism in the U.S. that's worrying me, it's the fact that the Stalinist C.P. seems doomed to fail and to bring down with it all the humanitarian tendencies I personally believe in--all the while acting as a mould on which its obverse the fascist mentality is made--and this recent massacre is certainly a sign of Stalinism's weakness not of its strength. None of that has anything to do with Marx's work--but it certainly does influence one's attitude towards a given political party.” BelieveDoeMadeFactsSeemsPoliticalPoliticsGivenPartyActingAttitudeWorryFailingInfluencePossibilityWeaknessHumanitarianTendenciesCommunismMentalityDoomedPolitical PartiesFascistsMassacresMouldStalinism Author:John Dos Passos
“The Iraqi Baath Socialist Party was modelled in large part on admiration for European National Socialist and Fascist movements, hoped to emulate them especially in their nationalism against the West. But mutated by Saddam Hussein it became also one that very, very much admired, and grew a special moustache in admiration of the work of Yosif Vissarionovitch Dzugashvili, the great Georgian known to us historically as Stalin. So you had him in modern Iraq, a regime in our own time, that was openly, directly modelled upon the two most extreme examples of European totalitarianism.” TwoPartyKnownModernSpecialExampleMovementGrewWestIraqExtremesNationalismAdmirationRegimesSocialistSaddamHusseinTotalitarianismFascistsEmulateMoustacheSocialist PartyGeorgians Author:Christopher Hitchens
“Poets are political, they have to be reflections of their times [because] they're living in their times... Poetry is political in that it's standing in opposition to fascism. Good poetry asks a bunch of questions and asks the audience to interact with themselves or see themselves in it; maybe you like it or you don't like it. But the fascist sort of stuff plays on your fears and tells you to jump on the party line and gives some simple excuses - blame this person.” GivingPersonsPlayPoliticalAsksStuffLinesSimplePartyAudiencePoetReflectionStandingBlameExcuseBunchOppositionPoetry IsFascismFascistsYou Like ItGood PoetryTime Poetry Author:John Cusack

“With the Republican Party`s presidential front-runner proposing that all Muslims should be banned from entering the United States, that perhaps there ought to be a national registry of Muslims, that we ought to looking into Muslims having to carry government ID cards that state their religion, now, the word fascist is being used to describe this ascending and leading Republican politician.” ShouldStatesGovernmentUsedUnitedPartyUnited StatesFrontsOughtPoliticianRepublicanCardsPresidentialRunnersRepublican PartyEnteringFascistsBannedAscending Author:Rachel Maddow
