When applied to politics and taken to its extreme, kitsch is the mask of death. Fascism was all aesthetics. There was no core principle to it. There was no truth to it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Kitsch is more dangerous than it looks when taken to the extreme.
No matter how much we scorn it, kitsch is an integral part of the human condition.
One of the most inexplicable characteristics of the Germans is their love of kitsch.
Fascism is very much a mob movement.

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.
Fascism is nothing but capitalist reaction.
Fascism is not in itself a new order of society. It is the future refusing to be born.
Fascism is not defined by the number of its victims, but by the way it kills them.
