Fascism

So where were we again, ah yes, the Nazis burnt books then people and thereby attempted to erase knowledge. Mussolini destroyed sartorial elegance with atrocious bad fashion taste, whilst Pol Pot eradicated the educated in Cambodia and Stalin wiped out anybody with the courage to show dissent and economic savvy. Now we have ISIS destroying historically unique sites, the most recent being the Arch of Triumph in Palmyra. And step by step Europe is heading back to the shadows of the past.

Different aims, different uniforms, same old ignorance. With confidence we march into the future, heads held high, flags fluttering and eyes wide open but not seeing.
