Best Book (I Read) this Year 2022

How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them by Jason F. Stanley

It might even be the best read ever. I am already re-understanding what fascism is and, as crazy as me and my voices may be on some planes, we were not actually crazy when we were thinking everybody everywhere couldn’t all be fascists, could they? – i.e. The truck drivers and our Liberal government were calling each other fascists, Fox News and the Republicans call everyone but Fox News and Republicans fascists. The Democrats call Trump, who calls them fascists, a fascist, and so on and so on… This might be a book the UN should translate into every language on the planet and make it part of the required reading curriculum of every school everywhere. Oh Mein Kampf! Did I just suggest that? Isn’t that what a fascist would try to do? Read the book and find out.
