I Shaved My Head When Robert Stanfield Died

"...because Canadian politics is a baffling mystery that, when explained, still doesn't make sense, and has no bearing on anything." -Commenter on a Diefenbaker YTMND I made

Ooh, this will stir up a hornet's nest... My kind of Fascist:

"a nation consists of a people or of peoples who have decided to have the same government."
-Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists 1948 advocating one european government.

At any rate at www.oswaldmosley.com you can listen to what could be identified as a lawful, democratic, pluralistic fascist. A leader whose quarrel was not ethnic, but economic, a man whose fight was for commonality, not totalitarianism. He called himself a fascist and he brings credit to the ideology, which was either perverted by himself into messianic classical conservatism or perverted by the fascist governments of Germany, Italy, and Spain into tyranny. You be the judge:

"In the lives of great nations comes a moment of decision, comes a moment of destiny. And this nation again and again in the great hours of it's fate, hath swept aside convention, hath swept aside the little man of caution and delay... we shall follow men and movements... That is the permanent and mighty mood of Britain!"

Wow. A fascism not based upon blood, but upon ideas and respect for institutions. Is it fascist? Tom Mosley seemed to think so. You decide.
