ouch!
bill,
not exactly...the terms are meaningfull enuf
(didn't i just try to thumbnail "fascism")
but the polemic that invariably grounds them
- thats to say, the winner's narrative
(capitalist good guys, fascist bad guys),
that displaces thereby "the horror" of modern history
onto the popular classes,
is jes the usual speciousness of the cultural hegemon,
bourgeois liberalism.
so that i'd say sumpin like,
feel free to absolve yersef of any compunctions
in re ep's purported ideological/racial guilt
...therz no need to feel ashamed if you find
yersef agree'n with a particular use of the word kike or nigger,
(regardless the legion f lee bailey's browbeat'n you)
only that it authentically signify.
thanks,
bob
