No one wants to talk about fascism, but unless we do, and realise what is required to beat it, then we are all in the deepest of trouble.
Jason Stanley:
1. The mythical past-used to invoke a nostalgia for a fictional time when the nation was great as it was not yet sullied by the “Other.”
2. Propaganda-to attack enemies, to justify violence, to justify laws against “Them” and to support the authoritarian leader.
3. Anti-intellectualism-to attack the media, universities, and scientists when they contradict the strong man’s authority.
4. Unreality-supporting conspiracy theories that tarnish the “Other” along with an outright denial of facts when convenient.
5. Hierarchy-espousing a “natural order” where the “Us” are hardworking, moral, law-abiding and productive members of society, while the “Other” is not.
6. Victimhood-casting “Us” as victims of “Them”, who are taking resources from “Us” and demanding special rights.
7. Law and order-using laws to justify violence, oppression, and expulsion of the “Other”.
8. Sexual anxiety-as the “Other” embraces non-traditional approaches to sexuality,
9. Appeals to the heartland-as rural communities are often more homogeneous and conservative (more “Us”) while urban cities are often more diverse, cosmopolitan (more “Them”).
10. Dismantling of public welfare and unity-by casting aside safety net programs as unfair giveaways to “Them”, who are not working, as opposed to “Us”, who are.
