I sometimes fear that people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress worn by grotesques and monsters as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis.
Fascism arrives as your friend. It will restore your honour, make you feel proud, protect your house, give you a job, clean up the neighbourhood, remind you of how great you once were, clear out the venal and the corrupt, remove anything you feel is unlike you…
It doesn’t walk in saying, “Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution.“
Michael Rosen
this poem is very good, but is the author the same michael rosen im thinking of?
this guy?
it is yea
see, this is so jarring for some people but it honestly makes sense when you consider that he’s jewish and his parents were communists, and he himself is a socialist.
(it makes the fact that ytpers are obsessed with him pretty ironic seeing as most of them are 4channers and some are actual nazis)
