Sorry to hear this. Their endorsement in the Allam-Foushee primary would get more readers and serve more voters than their stories on the race.

This would be a good time not to use unidentified sources. No reason to do so -- you put your news org's reputation behind these people. Unless you've seen and verified medical records, zero gain for the public or your newsroom.

Army Talk Orientation Fact Sheet #64 - Fascism!
24 March 1945

Fascism is the precise opposite of democracy. The people run democratic governments, but fascist governments run the people.

Fascism is government by the few and for the few. The objective is seizure and control of the economic, political, social, and cultural life of the state. Why? The democratic way of life interferes with their methods and desires for: 1) conducting business; 2) living with their fellow men; 3) having the final say in matters concerning others, as well as themselves.

The basic principles of democracy stand in the way of their desires; hence —democracy must go! Anyone who is not a member of their inner gang has to do what he's told. They permit no civil liberties, no equality before the law. They make their own rules and change them when they choose. If you don't like it, it's “T.S.”

They maintain themselves in power by use of force combined with propaganda based on primitive ideas of “blood” and “race,” by skillful manipulation of fear and hate, and by false promise of security. The propaganda glorifies war and insists it is smart and “realistic” to be pitiless and violent.

Army Talk Orientation Fact Sheet #64 - Fascism!
24 March 1945

Interwoven with the “master race” theory of fascism is a well-planned hate campaign against minority races, religions, and other groups. To suit their particular needs and aims, fascists will use any one or a combination of such groups as a convenient scapegoat.

Fascism cannot tolerate such religious and ethical concepts as the “brotherhood of man.” Fascists deny the need for international cooperation. These ideas contradict the fascist theory of the Master race. The brotherhood of Man implies that all people —regardless of color race creed or nationality —have rights. International cooperation, as expressed in the Dumbarton Oaks proposals, runs counter to the fascist program of war and world domination.

In place of international cooperation, the fascists seek to substitute a perverted sort of ultra dash nationalism which tells their people that they are the only People in the world who count with disco's hatred and suspicion toward the people of all other nations. Right now our native fascists are spreading anti-British, anti-Soviet, anti-French, and anti-United Nations propaganda. They know that Allied unity now foretells the certain defeat of fascism abroad. They know that post war Allied unity means world peace and security. They realize that fascism cannot thrive or grow under these conditions.

Army Talk Orientation Fact Sheet #64 - Fascism!
24 March 1945

The political fascist state is based on the “leader principle,” under which the people must follow blindly the dictates of a few men. In the Axis countries, the emergence of fascism meant a taking away of self-government. As fascism grows more powerful it permits its people less and less liberty and uses more and more violence.

. . . Fascism treats women as mere breeders. “Children, kitchen, and church” was the Nazi slogan for women.

Army Talk Orientation Fact Sheet #64 - Fascism!
24 March 1945

Deprived of their unions, the working people could be driven to work longer and harder for less and less money, so that those who subsidized and ran fascism could grow richer. By wiping out all internal competition — especially the small and medium sized business firms —profits were increased still higher for the handful on top. In some cases, the fascists then gobbled control of the top corporations. The living standards of the masses of the people declined, of course. As they earned less and less, they were able to buy less and less of the goods they produced.

Every last detail of life was regulated, with the death penalty often imposed for slight violations. One unhappy victim complained: “Fascism is a regime under which everything not prohibited is compulsory.”

Once the fascists were in control of the government, not even the gang on top was safe from its own members. There would be more loot and power per fascist leader if some fascist leaders were eliminated. Some of the party big-shots and some of those who had helped them take over were therefore purged. Many would-be partners in the dictatorship, including some industrialists, wound up in jail, in exile, or dead.

No! Apologies for ambiguity! Had to condense the War Dept quote to fit space limits, and I did a poor job. I just meant that Bouie’s concern recalls some of that 1945 anti-fascism War Dept pamphlet.

The War Department said much the same in a 1945 Army pamphlet on "Fascism!": ‘It was easy for the fascists to make [their people] feel that other people were of no more consequence than vermin. ... They were encouraged to think nothing of killing unarmed and defenseless men, women, and children.'

Glad you like it, old buddy. I'm always on the prowl for hidden Xmas gems. I'm not a big Eric Clapton fan but I do like his versions of Xmas Tears and Merry Xmas Baby, which I think has inspired more varied, terrific covers than any holiday toon.
