Our duty is to now expose the Republican Dictatorship as Fascists

[ck4829]

If they can get people to persecute Bill Clinton for incidents when he was not even President, surely there must be some way to get people to go after Jerry Falwell for his ties to a Dictator that murdered 70,000+ people.

2. Don't forget the World Anti-Communist League or Michael Ledeen

"Search" is currently unavailable, or I'd link to a few threads. So here's the quick version:

The World Anti-Communist League, founded in 1966, grew out of the Asian People's Anti-Communist League, a major supporter of which was a Japanese fascist, Ryiochi Sasakawa, who had been jailed as a war criminal after World War II. Sasakawa also helped found Reverend Moon's Unification Church, which over the years maintained close connections with the World Anti-Communist League.

In the 1970's, the World Anti-Communist League spread widely, attracting many former Nazi supporters in Europe and Latin America. It grew so notorious that by 1975 even Moon had to temporarily distance himself from it. From 1978 to 1980, the organization was led by white supremacist Roger Pearson, who brought in even more radical fascists and anti-Semites.

Pearson was kicked out in 1980 and the World Anti-Communist League fell into the hands of General John Singlaub, who toned down the fascist elements and restored it to some degree of respectability. The advisory board included such right-wing stalwarts as Howard Phillips, Andy Messing, and Fred Schlafly, husband of Phyllis Schlafly.

However, the group maintained many connections with Latin American fascists and leaders of death squads, even providing training in methods of suppression. Between 1984 and 1986, WACL also became the major conduit for covert funding of the Nicaraguan Contras, with Oliver North as its White House liaison.

It's hard to avoid the conclusion that much of the anti-Communist right was motivated not so much by a love of democracy as by an active affinity for fascism.

The Neocons are another group with a strong whiff of fascism, some of it brought in by way of Leo Strauss, some going back to the Trotskyite roots of the first generation of Neocons. Michael Ledeen is a particularly glaring example. He has had close ties with Italian neo-fascists and has written glowingly of fascism on the Italian model (as opposed to Naziism) being a positive source of cultural renewal.

(Of course, none of this is going to make much headway with the fundies, half of whom are probably racists anyway. It's a lot more useful for shaking up the moderate left and attempting to jar them out of their complacency.)
