As a matter of simple fact, there are Fascists on the rise. Having observed enough about the Golden Dawn in Greece they are without a doubt nascent fash.

On a related note,

quote:


What is this liberal rubbish?
Are you some kind of mug?
Don't talk to me of "free speech"
For murdering fascist thugs

We remember Mosley
And how Cable Street folk fought him
When we see the fash
We let the boots do the talking

Some think they'll be halted
By spouting a lot of hot air
Others think you can stop them
By waving a yellow lollipop in the air

But we remember Mosley
And how Cable Street folk fought him
When we see the fash
We let the boots do the talking

It's a shame the far-right scum often seem better dressed and organized than their opponents.

What?

i think its deeply naive and ideology-par-excellence to believe that fascist movements can be uprooted via disorganized public beatings or petit civil insurrection or armed punk rock skinhead gangs or whatever. anyone abbreviating fascism as "fash" and adopting pop culture totems like doc martens and suspenders should be properly understood as fashion idols and fanboys incapable of affecting change outside of their milieu. suppression of the death drive at the foundation won't come via the whims of the ego.

Read about Cable Street, AFA in the UK, Red Warriors in France- history basically proves you wrong and that it is part of an effective strategy, even granting the existence of doc marten anti fash-ion hipsters.

Interbreeding is probably one of the best solutions to racism in the long term.

Serious answer:

1. Exposure to people you perceive as 'different' than you in situations of equal power distribution
2. Exposure to people in ways that makes you realise you are fundamentally the same

Mere exposure/relations with people culturally identified as a different 'race/ethnicity' does not improve understanding.

And that kind of exposure, given enough time, is going to result in two ethnic groups interbreeding until the one can't be told from the other. Look what happened to all the European ethnic groups in the US during the 20th century. It's either the solution to racism or what results when racism ends.

Because we can't force people to breed as the state requires (which is a good thing if you're into individual liberties), the question becomes how to encourage the kinds of exposure you discuss.

Put aside this breeding idea for a moment, because it isn't necessary.

Seeking this 'exposure' is why that simple idea of equality and why it has been so powerful to so many movements, if interpreted or applied differently. We don't need to worry about those differences (whether it be equality in philosophies of marxism or anarchism or liberalism) because we are commonly bound against Fascism, which invariably is rested on one 'peoples' being superior and worthy of dominating another.
