AL FAZ, Spain, Jul 1 2013 (IPS) - The atrocious Second World War left behind lasting damage by lowering our standards for what is marginally acceptable.

Fascism is bad, but if it does not come with dictatorship and the elimination of an entire people, the limit has not yet been reached.Hiroshima, Hitler, Auschwitz are deeply rooted in our minds. And we distort them.

Hiroshima makes us disregard the state terrorism against German and Japanese cities, the killing of citizens of any age and both genders. And Hitler and Auschwitz make us disregard fascism as the pursuit of political goals by means of violence and the threat of violence.

It takes two to make a war, by whatever means. But it takes only one to make fascism, against one’s own people, and/or against others.What is the essence of fascism? A definition has been given: coupling the pursuit of political goals with massive violence. We have democracy exactly to prevent that, a political game for the pursuit of political goals by nonviolent means, and more particularly by getting the
majority, as demonstrated by free and fair elections or referenda, on one’s side.
