Hartmann on American fascism

He noted that the US has a long history of fascism characterized first by rich plantation owners literally and violently enslaving people to the oligarchy today doing the same economically. But today we're bringing back the physical brutality of times past with incitements to violence and those acts being carried out against our citizens. This too is fascism. And if we don't take the necessary action to hold accountable not just the violent actors but those in government and media who incited it, then we are indeed heading into a complete fascist State. Thom concluded:

"If Republicans in Washington DC and state capitals across the country continue to minimize this new GOP fascist movement, and federal and state governments continue to let its perpetrators and promoters off the hook, the American experiment as we’ve known it is close to a very dangerous end."
