American Fascism
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009Shadia B. Drury. “Fascism American Style.” Free Inquiry, vol. 29, no.3.
“I argue that unless we understand fascism as a radical form of nationalism that springs from the human love for the true, the good, and the beautiful, we will fail to recognize it as the perennial danger of political life in democratic societies…. This radical nationalism valorizes militancy, struggle, and death for the nation. Fascism is not for sissies. it is not soft or comfortable; it is not free or easy, It demands hardship, toil, death , and self sacrifice.”
Also includes a differentiation between nationalism and patriotism by Irving Kristol. (!!)
