there is a strong groundswell of support for fascism right now in England,
Fascism?? The views espoused by the EDL seem almost mild compared to the values and mores held dear by the British....and by extension Canadians, Aussies and Americans, just a few short decades ago. Were the men who fought the Axis powers fascists? It's a term too lightly used by those today.
The problem is that to modern leftists and liberals, the ones who control all the policies and keep pushing the failed theories, this kind of talk in defense of our countries and civilization is fascism. They care very little, if anything, for the culture that they've grown up in and that allows them to be free. Hence, at a minimum, their open contempt for those who want to protect and save it.
I actually feel the same about the out of control capitalists as I do the theoretical leftists. There's very little evidence to suggest that the Wall Street types care anything at all about our countries, as shown by their push from the right to increase immigration in order to drive down the wages of workers that were born, live, and pay taxes here. This is one of my main problems with the American brand of conservatism especially. For an alleged grass-roots common-man phenomenon, the TeaBirchers seem stunningly unaware that their entire movement is basically owned, controlled, and operated by a top-down group of oligarchs who care nothing at all about any of the average American workers they've been inflicting so much harm and damage onto since Reagan unleashed the financial sector to pillage and ravage the American economy all they wanted.
People can say what they want about the Nazis, but at least one of their primary rules was don't ever hurt any of your own unless they've betrayed the
volk and the nation. That's an important communitarian principle that's certainly sadly been lacking among the conservative right-wing today. The left can at least pretend they're causing their share of the damage out of altruism. The right though? There isn't anyone or anything they wouldn't completely sell out in order to make a fucking dollar.
