Show ! THE FUTURE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA No one can start a revolution before its proper time and no one can stop it once the hour has struck. Not many months ago, Smedley Butler, former general of the U. S. Marines, announced that he had been offered finan- cial backing for an army to march on Washington to take t control from our constitutional government and place it in the I hands of the American Fascists. Butler was to be the Ameri can Hitler. But Butler was not the man, nor was it the proper time. , .:. , -i'&mmZS, Fascism is coming in the United States. Wars are not unmitigated evils. Had there been no French Revolution, serfdom would still exist in France. Had there been no American Revolution, we would still be vassals of Great Britain. Had there been no Civil War the colored people would still be slaves. Every birth is accompanied by suffering whether it is the birth of an individual or of a new civilization. DEMOCRACY is the neutral between the negative reactionary reac-tionary forces of Fascism, and the positive aggressive forces of Communism. The eveolution of government is; first, monarchies; mon-archies; second, republics; finally communes. Fascism is b temporary vortex of conflicting forces in which may be found elements of the three systems, feudalism, capitalism, and co- : operative ownership. Fascism is both a destroyer and a builder. Through Fascism, the church, money system, private ownership owner-ship of land and factories, will be destroyed. By means of Fascism Fas-cism the people of the world will be trained in affiliation and I ' cooperative organized accomplishment. j |
