Of course there will be a return to fascist thought. In fact, a popular phone in radio station in the UK even asked: is fascism racist? As if a none racist fascist movement would be OK. In times of crisis, the populism of fascism can flourish if the opposing voice isn't strong enough. To go to the UK again, there is an under educated and under employed mass of people who can be mobilised, through manipulative means, to fight for the small business localism of the more privileged groups who consider their enemies this or that ideological or ethnic group. It's worrying, especially the lack of an obvious opposition from the left. The 'left' here is perceived to be a milquetoast liberal voice that doesn't care much about the common man or woman, but a layer privileged enough to direct its battles toward one or the other side in a twitter controversy. I believe there are a lot of people in the UK, and elsewhere in Europe, who do strongly oppose fascism. It's a question of leadership and breaking away from the liberal and social democratic blocs that still maintain illusions in the existing 'left' parties. If this isn't tackled, fascist poison will be allowed to spread, with the collusion of the status quo. Edit - I'd also point out that there are extremely oppressive currents in the political UK mainstream, in the guise of saving money, such as the vans telling immigrants to 'go home' and all sorts of horrible political agenda dressed up in our media. At the same time, the tax man here ignores billions in legally dodged corporation tax, instead we are told the problem is with our neighbours. Taking a basic description of fascism as class collaboration to further interests on national lines, that is in full swing. Tazzo fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Aug 10, 2013 |
