So much interest now in fascism

And I am glad, because we need to be alert to encroaching fascism. This is especially true of our current predicament with a president who has mischaracterized Article II powers of the president. So there are many good articles searching for lessons and analogues from fascist leaders past, most recently Andrew Marantz article in the New Yorker sharing a colloquy with a college class on totalitarianism. To take Nazi Germany for instance as a "warning from history" I recommend reading the Opening Statement of Robert Jackson at the Nuremberg Trials. It thoroughly describes not only the ideology but the actual steps taken by the Nazi Party to hijack the German state, to the everlasting sorrow of Europeans.
