A Recipe for Fascism

By Chris Hedges

American politics, as the midterm elections demonstrated, have descended into the irrational. On one side stands a corrupt liberal class, bereft of ideas and unable to respond coherently to the collapse of the global economy, the dismantling of our manufacturing sector and the deadly assault on the ecosystem. On the other side stands a mass of increasingly bitter people whose alienation, desperation and rage fuel emotionally driven and incoherent political agendas. It is a recipe for fascism.

Publishers Weekly's Review of Chris Hedges' book, American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War On America.

Also check out his latest book, Death of the Liberal Class. For decades the liberal class defended all Americans against the worst excesses of power. But the pillars of this class—the press, the universities, trade unions, the Democrats, and the liberal church—have collapsed. In its absence the needs of the poor, the working class, and even the middle class no longer have a champion. Death of the Liberal Class takes an excoriating look at the liberals who have abdicated responsibility and formulates a clarion call for reform. - NationsBooks.org
