“The conservatives saw the Fascist leader as someone they could hide behind, manipulate, and, when convenient, replace.”

Wages, in real terms, have been stagnant since the 1970s.

First of all, I don’t think fascism is an ideology. I think it is a method, it’s a system.

Historian Robert Paxton begins one of his books by asserting: Fascism was the major political innovation of the twentieth century, and the source of much of its pain.

I was taught to strive not because there were any guarantees of success but because the act of striving is in itself the only way to keep faith with life.

Hide the good you do, and make known the good done to you.

The weak-minded always look for safe spaces to hide.

Most of us remain strangers to ourselves, hiding who we are, and ask other strangers, hiding who they are, to love us.
