Fascism is itself less 'ideological', in so far as it openly proclaims the principle of domination that is elsewhere concealed.

As an outsider in America, you do see the kind of hypocrisy that's rampant there.

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.

A Conservative Government is an organized hypocrisy.

Fascism is very much a mob movement.

The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism.

Hypocrisy is a value that I think has been embraced by the Republican Party. We get lectured by people all day long about moral values by people who have their own moral shortcomings.

Fascism is a religious concept.

The one thing with writing stories about the rise of fascism is that if you wait long enough, you'll almost certainly be proved right. Fascism is like a hydra - you can cut off its head in the Germany of the '30s and '40s, but it'll still turn up on your back doorstep in a slightly altered guise.

I'm afraid, based on my own experience, that fascism will come to America in the name of national security.
