In a previous piece, I defined what I believe is a fascist and a dictator but for my purposes today, I should define it again since t-Rex has now outlawed ANTIFA a terrorist organization, which literally has no meaning at all because there is no anti-fascist organization called ANTIFA.

Even if we define terrorist in the typical way these authorities define terrorism, which seems to be any type of attempt to change by subterfuge-violence, assassination, bombings etc, or even free speech, actions we used to refer to as "revolutionary"- revolution, meaning the attempt to overthrow an existing national political structure by any means necessary, so to speak. That was before 9/11, after that, everything is defined as terrorism, so we got the patriot act where every precaution to protect any nations status quo, whether it be democratic or dictatorial, is acceptable, with the current terroristic administration being exempt.

Right now we are winding down the path of irrelevance with the new nuances of new and old terms but it is necessary, as always, to try and find our way back to the beginning so we won't be so lost next time. Actual terrorism before 9/11 was the sole prerogative of western nation secret government institutions designed to enact terror on our enemies, such as CIA, FBI, M15, KGB, etc.

Ironically, the term revolutionary does not exist or is never used to reflect opposition to any nation state's practices. In America, even in the constitutional and moral crisis we find ourselves in, journalists and those who use social media for their free speech political tirades, still do not define what is happening as revolutionary, in either Trumps national effective fascist movement or the public's attempt at resistance to it, mainly because on the one hand, we don't want to give credence to Trumps revolution by naming it for what it is nor do we want to assume there can be a resistance movement beyond just getting back to normal, whatever that was. The renormalization of American politics, such as voting, protesting, or other legitimatized action only denies the conditions that brought us to this dance.

So far I haven't delivered on my definitions. I'm not completely alone but I believe we are in the middle of or at the start, it doesn't make much difference, a fascist revolution. I don't think it will go away when Trump goes away or even, if democrats get control of congress, or maybe even the presidency. This started a long time ago, more precisely, when wealth began to dominate politics by corruption, legal fiat, and by world wide domination through war and economics. Honestly, it was by way more of a blind rampaging elephant until a couple of decades ago when there began to be a plan, and this year there is a plan called 2025, which is a total domination over and capitulation of and by the institutional framework which America is supposed to function over. It isn't going to happen overnight ( that is, tomorrow) but given the current status, three more years is enough. The courts are in, the military is in, certainly the governmental, constitutionally democratically institutional formulated constitution itself is in, all in.

Fascism. The use of propaganda, political, judicial, economic power to redirect the principles, values, and traditions of a constitutionally provisioned government as well as national cultural biases. This can be done by so called democratic processes as it was in 1930's by fascistic elements in Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Yugoslavia, Austria, Hungary and others. Economic conditions and cultural ethnic and religious traditions in the 30s provided backdrops for public acceptance of authoritarian changes.

Similarly, the decades following 9/11 have given the western nations carte blanche to emulate the threat of the 1930s fascist nations who also believed that their fear of being run over by the victors in world war 1 justified the eventual world war 2.

It's true that today things are different. America has taken the lead mainly because it was notoriously attacked, even though Europe and the western powers, were victims of the same religio fascist elements as America, turning the struggle not to revolutions but fascistic struggles between imperial nations, such as America, against victim nations, such as in the Middle East. Americas inability to maintain order, in fact, maintaining instead, aggression and even stronger imperial policies than before 2000, sank deeper into a fascistic model of control,domination, and divisiveness at the sacrifice of its own ideals, i.e. patriot act, homeland security, military strength over more pacific practices, and the fomenting of division between parties and the public over patriotism, nationalism and terrorism.

Today we've reaped the outcome of those divisions. We are in the middle of a religio-secular holy war. No one could have guessed that we'd believe that the normal hard working midwesterner voter could be so much different than the normal hard working Californian or New Yorker. The element of fascism that adheres to racism, anti-immigrant, anti-poor beliefs and who wants to return to a new southern strategy and tragedy is a strange breed for sure. The divisions in America have become so stratified, complex, and sadly, institutionalized by statute, religion, and tradition, that it's the perfect breeding ground for misinformation, lies, myths, rumors, and outright hate. It doesn't take much to realize we are in deep trouble.

Where does that leave us, the vast majority of us, who want to believe this is temporary, a blip in the democratic process, a misunderstanding that time will heal?None of that is real.

No one is going to thwart the genocide, even if you're one who denies it. No one is going to piece the passive congress back together because nearly every congress person has been corrupted in one way or another. No one is going to reverse the judicial entrenchment of a philosophy that does not include constitutional and regulatory adjustments or compromises between the law and law enforcement. No one is going to stop the flow of weapons around the world, supporting an aggressive international horror show that a few authoritarian nations, including America, support and will never retreat from.

Lastly, in those nations, the democratic process which has been so corrupted by bribery, divisive politics, manipulation (redistricting), lies and which, though once a pride of nation ( to be called democratic) has since gone the way of the Weimar Republic. Any tyrant posing as a representative can come in, rather than letting the right one in.

So, we in America are in a fascistic revolution. If we don't admit that, we can not counter it. We cannot let it pass, we cannot wait.

I'm not going to condone violence but if I can't condone violence in order to thwart real fascistic racism, real political violence from my government, or real genocide then I certainly can't condone any of the violence perpetuated in my nations name.

It's not a discussion we all have in our heads and come to the conclusion that passive resistance is the only choice. No, there should not be passive resistance. Any individual can make some sort of sacrifice. Sacrifice isn't passive. Use the thing fascist try to take away from you. Your mind, your freedom. You don't need a sledge hammer to drive a nail into a coffin.

There are and there will be others who are already forming resistance. Join them. But be ready to be called antifa. Be ready to be denied as revolutionary. Be ready to make some sort of sacrifice. Although I never watch Jimmy Kimmel, I like the response to his pause, not subscribing to Disney or Hulu, etc. it's what we have to do. Little things. Everybody doing little things.

With spear and poisoned dart,

An elephant was killed today,

By natives on the African plain.

They danced and sang,

Jumped up and down on it,

They cut it up into pieces and

carried the pieces away.

I am antifa. I am anti-fascist.
