The Day the Nazi Died
Removed by modWe're taught that after the war the Nazis vanished without a trace
But batallions of fascists still dream of a master race
The history books they tell of their defeat in forty-five
But they all come out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died
They say the prisoner of Spandau was a symbol of defeat
Whilst Hess remained imprisoned and the fascists they were beat
So the promise of an aryan world would never materialise
So why did they all come out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died
The world is riddled with maggots--the maggots are getting fat
They're making a tasty meal of all the bosses and bureacrats
They're taking over the board rooms and they're fat and full of pride
And they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died
So if you meet with these historians I'll tell you what to say
Tell them that the Nazis never really went away They're out there burning houses down and peddling racist lies
And we'll never rest again until every Nazi dies
When we all get to hang out this will be a fun campfire song
Vaguely related, but saying "x isn't fascist" because it lacks one or two of the features of ur-Fascism is no longer a valid or useful argument. Fascism is a phenomena of the 20th century, but we lack a good accepted term for it's 21st century spawn. That will be. Amatter for historians who come after us. For now fascism is a sufficient term in most cases for discussing the politics of the right.
Whether or not to label something fascist seems like an argument to have while you're already stopping that thing. If that discussion needs to be had it means the thing is already bad and the debate is over whether it's the worst.
Being vigilant about fascism is good and a part of thst is stamping out its roots before they can form, if this kind of conversation is even on the table it means we got some fascism brewin
also umberto eco wasn't a comrade so we shouldn't really be using his analysis as a foundation.
Neofascist? Idk
