All that is needed to set us definitely on the road to a Fascist society is war. It will of course be a modified form of Fascism at first.
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.
Fascism is not in itself a new order of society. It is the future refusing to be born.
I'm afraid, based on my own experience, that fascism will come to America in the name of national security.
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.
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.
But Fascism cannot continue in a modified form.
Fascism is very much a mob movement.
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.
We tend to think about fascism in terms of the Second World War.
Fascism will come at the hands of perfectly authentic Americans.
