To Fight Against This Age: On Fascism and Humanism by Rob Riemen
3.0
I agree with what others have said - it brings up some valid points. It is very Eurocentric. And it is interesting that the author did mention that when Fascism would come to the USA, it would be branded under “freedom”. (As my country is about to start the 2024 Presidential campaigns in a matter of only 96 hours.)
I don’t know how we can control this spread of Fascism 2.0 in both the USA and in Europe. It seems like the specters of Imperialism, Colonialism, and Xenophobia will not die. (And the older generations will NOT let them die.)
I believe education is key. But how you can prevent it from being twisted in this age of technology and half truths is the question. I think more average people MUST speak up and out when they see, hear, experience, or witness this bad behavior. We shouldn’t stand by while our brothers and sisters shout and cry out in suffering.
We must remember the words of Elie Wiesel, "We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim."
