  The propaganda glorifies war and insists it is smart and "realistic" to be pitiless and violent. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  They knew that the fundamental principle of democracy — faith in the common sense of the common people — was the direct opposite of the fascist principle of rule by the elite few. So they fought democracy in all its phases. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  Out went equality before the law, free elections and free political parties, independent trade unions and independent schools, freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and, in time, freedom of religion. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  Deprived of their unions, the working people could be driven to work longer and harder for less and less money, so that those who subsidized and ran fascism could grow richer. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  A small group of men, supported in secret by powerful financial and military interests, convinced enough insecure people that fascism would give them the things they wanted. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  They permit no civil liberties, no equality before the law. They make their own rules and change them when they choose. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  Fascism cannot tolerate such religious and ethical concepts as the "brotherhood of man." Fascists deny the need for international cooperation. These ideas contradict the fascist theory of the "master race." The brotherhood of man implies that all people — regardless of color, race, creed, or nationality have rights. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  Fascism is an authoritarian government by the few. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  They maintain themselves in power by use of force combined with propaganda based on primitive ideas of "blood" and "race," by skillful manipulation of fear and hate, and by false promise of security. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  Fascism created and exploited racial hates to acquire a following, to disunite nations, and to enslave the peoples of Europe and Asia. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  The press, radio, movies, stage — all were put to the task of glorifying war. The school system, from kindergarten to university, justified and exalted tyranny of the strong over the weak. "The school is the preparation for the Army," said the Nazi Minister of Education. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  ...could fascism rise in the United States after it's been crushed abroad? What can we do to prevent it? #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  As soon as the fascists were in control of the government, the torturings and the killings were no longer the unlawful acts of a political party and its hoodlum gangs. They became official government policy. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  We have had our hooded gangs, Black Legions, Silver Shirts, and racial and religious bigots. All of them, in the name of Americanism, have used undemocratic methods and doctrines which experience has shown can be properly identified as "fascist." #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  It would work under the guise of "super-patriotism" and "super-Americanism." Fascist leaders are neither stupid nor naive. They know that they must hand out a line that "sells." Huey Long is said to have remarked that if fascism came to America, it would be on a program of "Americanism." #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  Once their people were sold on the "master race" idea, it was easy for the fascists to make them feel that other people were of no more consequence than vermin. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  Indiscriminate pinning of the label "Red" on people and proposals which one opposes is a common political device. It is a favorite trick of native as well as foreign fascists. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  It was easy enough for the fascists to promise all things to all people before they were in power. Once they were actually in power, they could not, of course, keep their contradictory promises. They had intended in advance to break some, and they did break those they had made to the middle classes, the workers, and the farmers. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

  Only by democratically solving the economic problems of our day can there be any certainty that fascism won't happen here. That is our job as citizens. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda
