Dan Sinker: 'Fascism Always Fails'

Tuesday, February 25, 2025

Dan Sinker writes about how one man standing up to hate changed a town's direction: "George Dale hated the Ku Klux Klan. Now hating the Klan in Muncie, Indiana was not a safe thing thing to do. The Klan ruled Muncie and Delaware County the way it ruled most places in Indiana. The entire police department and the fire department were all Klan. The county judges? Klan. The whole town, essentially, was run by the Klan."

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202 ...

I want fascism to fail this time with less than fifty-five million dead.

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power."

Italian philosopher Giovanni Gentile. Benito Mussolini claimed credit for the definition.

Zed is not wrong. He's Presient.

Trumpism will eventually Fail.

The Death count before that happens will probably be unacceptably high.

Trump kills everything he touches. Ivanna comes to mind.

Oh,and the million Americans killed by that Fool's Covid Policies.
