Um, bad as things have been lately, I'll take this over fascism. Wouldn't
you? I'm Jewish, but we're both red, and here we just get fired and
ignored. Under fascism we get liquidated. But you know this, Doug.

Actually I suspect that the trends you identify will not lead to fascism,
which the big bourgeoisie will support only to defeat a string labor
movement or revolutionary threat. Part of the explanation for the trends
in questionis that we have neither.
