i would. =P   and further, i've often wondered if fascism wasn't, at least
in part, a response of the begining of mass proletarianization.

that is: the pb was defined, in part, by a desire to be grande-bourgeois...
and fascism may represent their last ditch effort to integrate themselves
into the ruling class.

interestingly, i suspect that fascism is one of the reasons the pb was
eventually destroyed as a class (some being brought into the bourgeoisie,
and the rest being proletarianized)... that is: to destroy their inverse
threat to capitalism, etc.

and, as dauve has noted, the strengthening of bourgeois democracy was
another result.

this is all just speculation, tho.
