Let's Stop Hitler Again...... 1 comment

19 Jan 2004 @ 17:48, by Sandi Hunter After Steve Downs was arrested for wearing a 'Give Peace a Chance' T-shirt, Mike Hersh writes: "I've read the history of authoritarianism and wondered how could people let it happen? In every case I've studied, people refused to face facts... They refused to face the fascism growing in their midst, much less stand up against it. Many people knew about the arrests and intimidation, the loss of liberty and the rising fear of the abusive 'authority.' ... What can we do? I suggest we collect and publish a litany of these authoritarian actions [that] our 'own' government - federal, state and local - commits or encourages. Include actions and statements of harassment and intimidation committed by unofficial but well-connected agents of the Bush Occupation in the mass media. Please join the effort. Email reports of abuses to antifascism@mikehersh.com. I will compile, update and discuss them on my website. [link]

It was this social behavior mechanism that kept apartheid in power in South Africa for so long - only the very few were willing to stand up. But keeping a precise record of incidents - accurate, dates, times, places - is essential. Especially since fascists tend to constantly re-write history.
