One argument often leveled against #anarchy is the old "How do you stop bad people from taking power?" gambit.

Well, uhmm...how do parliamentary democracies in tandem with capitalism stop bad people from grasping power?

A propos of noting...
Today is the anniversary of #Fascism!
On 23 March 1919, the Italian Fasces of Combat were created by Benito #Mussolini.

In 1919, #ColumbiaUniversity President #NicholasButler amended the admissions process to limit the number of #Jewish students admitted. In the 1920s, #Butler became an admirer of #Mussolini and praised #Italian #fascism. In the 1930s, he expelled a student for leading an anti-Nazi protest on campus.

Is the #Democratic Party on the brink of a major collapse? What happens when there is no difference between the #DOJ and the #GOP? There is none. Many so-called #Democrats are fake #Liberals. Tulsi #Gabbard turns out to be a far right hawk as #Fascist, if not more so, than Steve #Bannon. John #Fetterman, the little #Zionist, wouldn't hesitate to wave his little Israeli flag when confronted with a veteran. Will Gavin #Newsom become a more handsome version of #Mussolini?

L’affirmation pure et simple, dégagée de tout raisonnement et de toute preuve, est un des plus sûrs moyens de faire pénétrer une idée. L’affirmation n’a cependant d’influence réelle qu’à la condition d’être constamment répétée, et, le plus possible, dans les mêmes termes.

Gustave Le Bon, inspirateur de #Mussolini

La rhétorique #nazie se décrit par son indigence, une pauvreté linguistique et la répétition.

Die US-Administration beherrscht beide Grußtechniken, um sowohl Kommunisten als auch Faschisten anzusprechen.

Das ist gelebte Toleranz und Offenheit nach allen Seiten hin. Schön zu sehen, dass #Trump sich in die Reihe kommunistischer/sozialistischer Ikonen wie #Honecker und #Xi stellt, während #Musk den Granden #Hitler und #Mussolini die Ehre erweist.

Das ist wohl die wunderbare Meinungsfreiheit, die #Vance in #Europa so bitter vermisst ...

Today in Labor History March 9, 1879: Anarchist militant and IWW organizer, Carlo Tresca, was born. Tresca was an outspoken opponent of fascism in Germany and Italy, and of Soviet Communism. He was one of the main organizers of the Patterson Silk Strike. He was assassinated in 1943 by an unknown assailant, presumably a fascist or the Mafia. Some believe the Soviets killed him in retaliation for his criticism of Stalin. The most recent research suggests it was the Bonanno crime family, in response to his criticism of the mafia and Mussolini.

I was thinking about how the future generations will see #trump ara and his #maga #cult who enabled him when they study history at school. They'll probably see him with the same lens like we see now #hitler #nazi era or #mussolini #fascist era during #ww2 a #cultofpersonality who enabled a #lawless #dictator to rule over people as their #president .

Mio nonno era #socialista. Quando mio padre venne richiamato per #WWII lui gli disse "di farsi onore perché la patria è di tutti". Era una uomo buono, ma io credo che aveva torto. La guerra andava combattuta contro il governo #Mussolini e non contro la #Grecia. E prima si inizia e meno forti sono gli avversari #MAGA #TRUMP #BOYCOTTUSA

I'm sure I speak for many Canadians

So let's make this clear:
#Canadians don't hate #Americans.
Canadians hate the Orange #Mussolini that Americans voted into the #WhiteHouse.

Canadians can't really do anything about that.
But Americans can.
And Canadians want Americans to do something about it.

You're smart.
You'll come up with something.
#Canada, your ally for generations, is counting on you.

Dear #RoyalSociety, the University of Lausanne can only manage, but never erase, the stigma of giving Mussolini a doctorate honoris causa in 1937. Act now, or be for ever the scientific society which kept a fascist leader as a member.

I’m more certain than ever that #Trump will end up like #Mussolini, strung upside down from a pole somewhere for people to take joy in his demise.

Keine #Ehrenbürgerschaft für den faschistischen Diktator Benito #Mussolini. Nicht einmal dieses Minimum an Zivilität ist Konsens in der italienischen Rechten. Das ist der ideologische Sumpf, dem Giorgia #Meloni und ihr Regierung entspringt. Armes #Italien.
