I don’t think democracy needs to exist for fascism to exist.
The ruling class enforcing the hierarchy accomplishes what Douglas describes.
Sigh…
And now his home province is one of the hotbeds of rural reactionary populism
The father of Canada’s universal healthcare system. This guy was awesome.

"Once more, let me remind you what fascism is. It need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt.
Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege."
– Tommy Douglas
The GOAT - Canadians credit Tommy for bringing universal healthcare to canada. And starting the NDP
C’mon! Let’s get this shizz started, I’ve been workin’ out my smoke grenade kickin’ leg!
Late edit, because I got triggered, apparently: I swear this would be the dream. Like, just to see something else, at this point friggin’ anything, other than what we’ve been seeing pretty much since humans first decided they wanted to have more than the other guy. I’m so fucking tired of seeing people stepping over other people’s throats just to get an inch higher up the ladder, a ladder which is purpose-built to serve the exact opposite effect by those who already own the grand majority of us.
It’s not even for us at this point, speaking of those of us who are alive on this planet. I, for one, can feel that fucking ideological corruption still clinging to my moral fibre like a rancid mold no matter how much I try to scrub myself of it. God damn it, I wanted to have kids at one point, but I sure as shit won’t bring’em into this mess!

Lacrosse stick might be a better idea. Might have to modify the net.
Pick up, maybe run with it, and toss it back.
Uuu, that’s fiendishly clever, thank you!
Look up the concept of “Elite Panic”.
Soo its all facism at this point
