Re: Fascism, Another Definition

It occurred to me the other day that definition is simply not the right
mode for the description and analysis of fascism or any other historical
process. Defining (setting borders, delimiting) presupposes a static
entity to be defined. This doesn't mean, I guess, that we should stop
trying to define fascism (or other processes) but it _does_ mean we
should try to be aware of the scope and limits of definition as a mode
of understanding.
