Too late. It has already appeared in every country (in reality it has always existed in every country under different names).MrSpock-mm wrote: ↑April 22nd, 2019, 4:13 am Fascism will soon appear in all countries in the world.

He is, furthermore, one of the best teachers for learning to read the tradition. One of the keys for doing so is an art of writing that was all but forgotten by Nietzsche’s time, that is, esotericism. By this he meant the art of saying something while seeming to say something else. This is something that the early modern thinkers - Bacon, Descartes, Spinoza, Montaigne and others knew about.For a book length discussion of this: “Philosophy Between the Lines: The Lost History of Esoteric Writing”, by Arthur M.

It slipped under our guards because when the fascism is being perpetrated on people you have no contact with, it doesn't seem like fascism, just border protection. That one is a wicked problem, suggesting a link between fascism, population, resources and the economy.LuckyR wrote: ↑April 23rd, 2019, 2:16 pmToo late.

People have a responsibility to seek the best possible life for their families and nations have a responsibility to safeguard the living standards of their existing people. The clash of rival goods, with concentration camps the common end product. As climate change bites, I suspect that Scandinavia is going to be inundated with people, and they may well end up with detention centres with many southern Europeans.
As for general society, the more people you have, the more they need to be controlled to maintain civil order, especially if there is a significant class statification, such as the case in the US now, with rapidly growing wealth at the top and ever more undereducated and underemployed people at the bottom with little incentive to play by society's rules.
