(2 posts)below (and in the link) is what "fascism" really is... the goons-D qualify but not only...
as defined by somebody whose art and prose were most viciously attacked and systematically destroyed by the nazis before and after 1933.
after reading the definition, ask yourselves who between billary/obama and trump has done more to "fulfill" the definition, i.e., to turn the usa even more into the so far most extraordinary machine to subjugate other peoples ever seen on earth... Then things become as easy as 1 2 3....

[...] Brecht was very clear about one thing: his resistance to fascism. Before the Nazis came to power, Hitler's brownshirts were disrupting performances of Brecht and Weill's 1930 opera Mahagonny, claiming that it brought the contamination of black and Jewish musical influences into the German opera house. Brecht dedicated the next 15 years of his writing - plays, film scripts, poetry - to the anti-fascist cause. [...]
