'The bloody work of breaking the...left' is the salient point and origin story of all fascisms.
The situation is not so different today, given the refusal of the Chinese to 'democratise liberally' we are again in competition with an alternative economic model of distribution- which could at any time, xenofobic tendencies permitting, appear as a proof of concept to those in need of alternative personal futures.
I think that maybe the success of TINA has obscured and overlaid the persistant class struggle. Just because people have been atomised by their individual struggles in the face of a totalising media sphere which suffocates (actively as was the case with Corbyn Labour, red tide in Latin America;passively through lack of mediatic attention- all the time) the shoots and buds of class awareness.
Remember the Indignados movement- which needed the lucidity of a great survivor and understander of the 20th century history,Stephane Hessel, to give the crisis-hit youth a blessing and a unifying argument. Indignez Vous, indeed.
The heirs of fascism, not post-fascists but adopters of what they called 'the third way' are absolutely an alarming sign, more especially in Spain where the wounds are still raw and the phraseology and demeanour, harking back more than dog-whistling, of a party like Vox show just how much of a fractal this 21st Century political development is. Like the censor said of pornography, tthe Spanish 'know it when they see it' though definitions may escape many.
The dispute is the same as it was, and has the same-enthusiastic or reluctantly justifying- supporters as before.
Privilege is not apt to let go, so democracy must be managed-and if it can't be managed, it must be limited, or eliminated until the 're-educated' voters can be trusted again.
Just because the 'long fascisms' of the 20th century were welcome as Cold War allies, didn't mean they weren't fascism.
