Subject: RE: BS: blood & soil Nazification of America
When the establishment refuses to condemn fascists, what tends to happen is that decent people take things into their own hands. Today, Trump has reverted to his Saturday position. He should take note of what happened in the East End of London in 1936. The establishment tried to defend Mosley's Blackshirts. Ordinary working people, many of whom wouldn't have given Jews the time of day by the way, were not having any of it and they saw off the fascists on the streets. In Barking and Dagenham in 2010, the people came out on to the streets and saw off the BNP, who lost all their council seats and they made Nick Griffin look like the vacuous chump that he truly is. Nice one, Billy Bragg. Trump is being incredibly short-sighted. There are far more people who can't stomach the existence of triumphalist fascism on their local streets than those who support it. Law be damned. Fair play and decency dictates that ordinary people will see off these thugs whatever it takes. Learn from history, Trump.
