re: #105 _RememberTonyC

I have no use for extremists of any type … even when they appear to agree with some of my own beliefs. Extremists always have a dark side. And those who pretend that isn’t true will eventually be on the wrong side of the extremists’ ire.

It’s true. It’s in the nature of extremist organisations to eventually eat their own.

Especially fascists. Fascists have to create an ‘enemy without’,—it helps build up national identity, and they trade in nationalism— and they have to consolidate their internal power by talking about the ‘enemy within’.

If the enemies do not exist, they need to create them.

Same holds true of extremists over-all, IMO. Such movements are inherently cannibalistic. They kill and eat their own.
