Two threads in one day?!?
If you read my posts at all (and who wouldn't?) you know that I am a big proponent of words having a meaning and being used correctly. One of my biggest issues with politics of late is the casual way heavy terms like racist, bigot, anti-Semite, fascism and, the worst one when misused, genocide are bandied about.
I just read a very interesting, albeit IMO too brief, article on the BBC about fascism as it existed in the 20th century and its comparisons to modern political movements. As stated it is a brief read and very well worth your time. It clearly differentiates the political movements of today and those of the early 20th century. Let me know your thoughts.
