This is a small exert from the Ten Tactics of Fascism by Jason Stanley.
Where I put in an inverted comma it is his words
Equality needs truth. Equality in a democracy is about us all having the same political power as shown through one vote for all. Political equality requires speaking truth to power.
Hierarchy is the big lie at the centre of things. 'What is racism but one big lie. Racism is a lie that one group is better than another. You're told This religion is better, this race is better, this gender is better. It's really a moral claim - has more moral worth and then once you have hierarchy set up you can make some people very nervous about losing their position on that hierarchy. Hierarchy goes right into victimhood because once you convince people that they are justifiably higher on the hierarchy, then you can tell them that they are victims of equality. German Christians are victims of Jews, White Americans are victims of black American Equality. Men are victims of Feminism. Once you convince people that they should be better, that they have earned their position on the hierarchy above others, then you can tell them that equality is actually victimhood. Loyalty to the Dominant Group is actually being law abiding and the minority group by its nature is not law abiding.
So law and order does not mean Justice. Law and order does not mean equality. Law and order structures who's legitimate and who is not.'
The ten tactics of fascism by Jason Stanley. He goes on to speak about how the Leader's followers are told that their families are being destroyed through many things. LGBT being one which I have seen repeated ad nausea on this site in relation to trans. Those who have bought in/are buying in to the Fascist way don't see LGBT as people having made choices which are right for them which would be the Democratic viewpoint. 'They rather see them (LGBT) as making choices which threaten their lives and the lives of their children. He says they take ordinary Conservatives and the Leader says to them that he knows that they would not normally choose him because of his list of defects but now they need someone like him to sort things out for them.
For the last one he speaks of the gates at Auschwitz saying 'work shall set you free'. 'The idea is that the minority group is lazy and they need to be able to work. The minority group and the leftists, they are lazy by their nature, and this gives them a 'work ethic'. Labour Unions are run by Communists who are trying to make things easier. Hard work is a virtue. In a real democracy we don't value people on how hard they work. What would happen to disabled people who can't work. They would then have no value. It's why the nazis had their T4 program to murder their disabled. The disabled were 'life unworthy of life''
He also while not playing down the mass killing of Stalin and Mao believe that Fascism is definitely Right wing.
Sadly there is just so much I can identify with what is said here and this forum - and other forums on this site but it is most obvious here..
