Army talk on fascism from 1946 and linked in post.

FASCISM!
Note For This Week's Discussion:
Fascism is not the easiest thing to identify and analyze; nor, once in power, is it easy to destroy. It is important
for our future and that of the world that as many of us as possible understand the causes and practices of fascism,
in order to combat it. Points to stress are: (1) Fascism is more apt to come to power at a time of economic crisis;
(2) fascism inevitably leads to war; (3) it can come to any country; (4) we can best combat it by making our
democracy work.

"From somewhere at the bottom of a passage the smell of roasting
coffee — real coffee, not Victory Coffee — came floating out into
the street. Winston paused involuntarily. For perhaps two seconds
he was back in the half-forgotten world of his childhood. Then a
door banged, seeming to cut off the smell as abruptly as though it
had been a sound."

"He had lugged out a huge and fi lthy pipe which
was already half full of charred tobacco. With the tobacco ration
at 100 grammes a week it was seldom possible to fi ll a pipe to the
top. Winston was smoking a Victory Cigarette which he held care-
fully horizontal. The new ration did not start till tomorrow and he
had only four cigarettes left."

                              "The UN-sanctioned Board of Peace announced by DT earlier this year to rule Gaza is planning a sweeping grant of legal immunity for itself, according to a draft of the resolution obtained by the Guardian. The draft language would also let the organization obtain public property in Gaza ā€œfree of chargeā€.

                              The four-page resolution, labeled ā€œsensitive but unclassifiedā€, extends broad protections to every member of the Board of Peace and its administrative affiliate, the office of the high representative (OHR), as well as to the Palestinian technocrats, international military forces and nonresident contractors lined up to perform work in Gaza. It defines legal processes from which they would have immunity as ā€œany arrest, detention or legal proceedings in the courts or other entities in Gazaā€.

                              It is unclear if the document is attempting to relieve the Board of Peace and its affiliates from prosecution in international courts, in addition to potential claims in Gaza."

If Alberta separates then exclusive hate will rule in a new nation, but in the much more likely scenario that we don't separate, they will win anyways if they turn our Alberta into the one they wanted to create.
