O, Lord of Hatred

O Lord of the Fascist underbelly
the morning after the storm cleared all
the leaves from the trees and a million
starving refugees were washed down
the gutters into a soulless sea.
O, Lord of the men & women in
the Business of Banks and Billionaires
with their poisoned currency.
O Lord of Corruption,
this lord of Chaos and Deceit
now “weaponised”...
Oh, listen, listen carefully,
because 60 million Mercenary Millionaires
fear the Scourge of Democracy
(confronting the Terror of their Technology)
…but not the screams of dying children
in all the Gaza’s of our worst nightmares.
[contd.]
FOR THE PRESENT?
“Fascism in power is a compound, a powerful amalgam of different but marriageable conservative, national-socialist and radical Right ingredients, bonded together by common enemies and common passions for a regenerated, energized, and purified nation at whatever cost to free institutions and the rule of law. The precise proportions of the mixture are the result of processes: choices, alliances, compromises, rivalries. Fascism in action looks much more like a network of relationships than a fixed essence.”
Excerpt From: Robert Paxton –“What is Fascism” (PDF)
And
“In a column that appeared online on Jan. 11, 2021, Paxton wrote that the invasion of the Capitol “removes my objection to the fascist label.”
Trump’s “open encouragement of civic violence to overturn an election crosses a red line,” he went on. “The label now seems not just acceptable but necessary.”
Robert Paxton: “It’s the real thing. It really is.”(in his 2021 Newsweek column)

“Robert Paxton thought the label was overused. But now he’s alarmed by what he sees in global politics — including Trumpism.” Elisabeth Zerofsky – October, 2024
