Even though we haven't really defined "fascist
tendencies," except as a disposition toward
something we generally dislike, cheering on an
extremely bossy government for example, one is
pressed why we seek a "specific explanation" for
it. Why should we look for it except as an
expression of one's personal ideology, i.e., an
expression of the need to look down and dominate
those with whom we disagree?
Gaston: There should be a world government.
Alphonse: You have fascist tendencies.
Sunlight, for example, can be used to explain
plant life and atmospheric motion.
What level of explanation is required for fascist
tendencies?
