I don't. Kthx.

The Tea Party could be a recruiting ground for fascists, indeed that's exactly the attitude genuine fascists like Stormfront and all the different flavors of the KKK and Nazism have towards it. But it isn't a fascist movement. In fact it bills itself as anti-fascist and calls Obama a fascist. It hardly ever engages in actual violence, there are no Tea Party stormtroopers. At most, they heckle Democrats now and then and say threatening things.

There's a huge difference between disliking the left and workers organizations and minorities and organizing violence against them. The Tea Party is just not that. Paranoia about the Tea Party as a fascist threat is just Democratic Party rhetoric.

A fascist movement can't just be a movement of the bourgeoisie, there aren't enough of them. A mass movement of the middle classes, the petty bourgeoisie in all its vrious forms, to smash the workers can only get created by an intense crisis of capitalism and working class failures to resolve the situation.

That's why you see the Golden Dawn, an absolutely genuine fascist movement, arising in Greece. Whereas the National Front in France is really just a parliamentary affair, they might like to have brownshirts marching in the streets to round up all the immigrants, leftists and unionists but they don't.

I replied in the article thread BTW. You should check out Hoxha's speech I linked to.

So you believe Hoxha was insane?
