Should you alienate Fascists? In my opinion, most definitely! But a much, much more important question is why are Fascists dangerous? And, sadly, there appear to be many people in the world who still do not know the answer to that question. I'm sure that one could up with several answers - but the most important one is connected with the way that Fascists demonise people who are different to themselves - a tendency that has repeatedly led to some of the foulest crimes in history.

A new, and terrifying, book has recently appeared (so new that I've only had time to skim it). It's called:

'Worse Than War: Genocide, Eliminationism. and the Ongoing Assault on Humanity' by Daniel Jonah Gold hagen (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Worse-Than-War-Genocide-Eliminationism/dp/1586487698).

From what I've gathered, so far, this work suggests that, throughout history, it's been depressingly easy to persuade populations to turn on and murder their neighbours. Some democracies (sadly, not all) at least try to curb such impulses - Fascist governments, on the other hand, have shown no such restraint.
