Fascists – the ones you might meet on the street – are scared, broken people who need help and love. They are looking for control over a future that makes them feel powerless and meaningless. Fascism is a symptom. You can kill fascists for a month but if you don’t address the causes there will always be more.
That doesn’t mean to tolerate fascism or fascists. But the rhetoric of hatred and violence is counterproductive.
It’s no accident that fascism is increasing as the wealth gap is increasing, and more and more people are being pushed from the middle class and into poverty.
There is the ruling class, the working class whose labour contributes to the ruling class’s wealth, and the criminal class whose labour does not.
