Fascism For Freedom

[alice wellintown]

Note that it is ***the people*** who tolerate the growth of private power.

Also, the second half of the quote is as important as the first: "The
second truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if its
business system does not provide employment and produce and distribute
goods in such a way as to sustain an acceptable standard of living."

Bread and Butter Unionism was defeated by Managerial Capitalism and
The Visible Hand. And, the people didn't just tolerate it, they loved
it. The kids just wanted to stay young for ever and ever and
ever---Heaven on Earth. And 'we've got to get ourselves back to the
Machine in the Garden. We are Cogs in something Turning.
