Is an entire generation of writers  either ignorant or deliberately
inflammatory or both? They describe not only the Bush administration as
Fascist, but a culture and a world. 

                  Fascism is probably just a word for most of you. But
                  the reality is very much present in this country. And
the fact of it
                  dominates most of the world today. Each year there is
less and less
                  freedom for more and more people. Put simply, fascism
is the control
                  of the state by a single man or by an oligarchy,
supported by the
                  military and the police. This is why I keep
emphasizing the dangers of
                  corrupt police forces, of uncontrolled secret police,
like the
                  FBI and the CIA and the Bureau of Narcotics and the
Secret Service and
                  Army counterintelligence and the Treasury men—what a
lot of sneaky
                  types we have, spying on us all!


And how are this generation reflecting the authors of another
generation? 

Lorca, Orwell, Unamuno, Auden, just the Spanish connection here, but we
can go to the other nations...  Marcuse Technology, War and Fascism and
so on.
