The European brand of fascism will probably present its most serious postwar threat to us via Latin America.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Fascism is a worldwide disease. Its greatest threat to the United States will come after the war, either via Latin America or within the United States itself.
I have never written that there is a threat of fascism in America. I always considered the idea overwrought. But now I believe there really is such a threat - and it will come draped not in an American flag, but in the name of tolerance and health.
I'm afraid, based on my own experience, that fascism will come to America in the name of national security.
We tend to think about fascism in terms of the Second World War.
Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity, quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace.
I have often thought that if a rational Fascist dictatorship were to exist, then it would choose the American system.
If we define an American fascist as one who in case of conflict puts money and power ahead of human beings, then there are undoubtedly several million fascists in the United States.
The United States condoned dictatorships in Latin America for much of the 20th century.
Conflict with the United States is one of the overwhelming facts of Latin American history.
Fascism will come at the hands of perfectly authentic Americans.
