Samir Amin?

we should remember that 1930s-style fascism (which seems more likely
than Nazism) had a mass base. It's not just a matter of what the world
oligarchy wants. They co-opt mass movements, but the movements add a
lot of the content.

In some ways, the demagogic Sarah Palin rallies are moving in the
fascist direction, "mobilizing the GOP base" (i.e., fundy Christians)
with snarky hatred for Obama. I'm expecting this "10 minute hate" to
cause someone from the audience to yell out the word "nigger" soon...
I heard somewhere that some people in the McCain campaign are
beginning to worry...
