Here are some excerpts – see if any of this sounds familiar.

 

Fascism is government by the few and for the few. The objective is seizure and control of the economic, political cultural and social life of the state.

They maintain themselves in power by use of force, combined with propaganda based on primitive ideas of “blood” and “race”, by skillful manipulation of fear and hate, and by false promise of security.

The fascists solved unemployment by converting their nations into war machines. The unemployed were either conscripted into the army, or organized into labor battalions and put to work in war plants.

 

Deprived of their unions, the working people could be driven to work longer and harder, for less and less money, so those who subsidized and ran fascism could grow richer.

Nearly every word of this describes today’s reality.
