In trying to describe the quickly emerging
soft totalitarian states in Western Europe and Canada today,
conventional labels seem inadequate. But “fascist” is by far the most
commonplace. “Communist” is seldom used except in reference to the
“Chinese Communist Party State”. This should not be surprising.
Given
the Leftist capture of academia, the Mainstream Media, Google, FB,
Twitter and major corporations, it is fair to say that they control the
narrative—and just as critically, the language. Even those who are
opposed to their agenda have come to adopt Leftist terminology, which
is rife with words that bias discussions before they begin, and
predispose participants toward Leftist arguments.
Particularly
vexing is that whenever negative portrayals of anything that smacks of
intolerance, violence, government over-reach or arbitrary action are
called for, references to Hitler or Nazism or Fascism are made. The
logical fallacy of “Hitlerlum ad absurdum” is employed as the standard
show-stopper by Leftists who are losing the argument.
