Thin Skin

“If I’m thin,” said skin,“it’s because I have been cut.”The hands, who wanted nothingand were incapable of choice, didn’t feelresponsible. Earsweren’t

#Fascism isn't a new phenomenon but is has a #history and understanding it is necessary for #prevention & #resistance.

There is an often overlooked work by #italian #writer, #philosopher & #antifascist #UmbertoEco

First published 1995 in the #NewYorkReviewOfBooks http://www.nybooks.com/articles/1995/06/22/ur-fascism/

There was no #gamification that time

There is a #wikipedia article on it & many opportunities to find it in different languages

Ur-Fascism

I think it is possible to outline a list of features that are typical of what I would like to call Ur-Fascism, or Eternal Fascism. These features cannot be organized into a system; many of them contradict each other, and are also typical of other kinds of despotism or fanaticism. But it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it.
