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.”

Also, the nazis ruled for six years, in what some people still consider a golden age (it wasn’t), before starting a world war.
It’s crazy how short the Confederacy and 3rd Reich were, considering their popularity.
The same Michael Rosen of YTP fame??
