      Liberals refuse to discuss what the solution to the problem of fascists is because they refuse to adapt or entertain the idea that the system they support can become fascism.

      The fascists will grow and grow until they reach a size at which they can take over. This is how they operate. The solution to this is either re-education, call it rehabilitation if that makes them feel better but ultimately it's rounding up the fascists and re-educating them... Or it's waiting until the inevitable happens and the bullet needs to be used against them instead.

      The communist approach of re-educating the fascists before things become a problem is far far better but they've made a completely unnecessary boogeyman out of re-education when they already do EDUCATION in the first place so now what? The only outcome is bullet or fascism.

          Always worth remembering that the extreme ideology that a lot of Muslim terrorist groups adhere too is derived from the official state interpretation of Islam that the Saudis export all over the globe in the form of free schools and textbooks for anyone who asks. Ever since at least the Afghan extremists during the Soviet/Afghan war the US has been funding and spreading the most extreme violent and reactionary interpretation of Islam.

            Is my brain melting or wasn't the US exporting wahhabism etc with such fervour in the 70s/80s that extremist textbooks were being printed and produced by the University of Kentucky or Tennesse or some such?
