accuses the other two of fascist tendencies it is inevitable that the word fsc ism should crop up again and again because as a word it has come to mean everything political that we des pise to us it signifies injustice opp region tymnry cruelty and the den ial qf aj those rights of free men which we have cherished and for which our kind have struggled through manj centuries it is ironical that often men who use the word fascism only one man know what it means it will soar on oratorical wings across public- partes and halls and rooms in rural absolutism 2 state control of en try and frith repeated failure the state takes over bit by bit the very capital interests which financed it thus you have tiic frenzied pleas for justice of thyssen who helped finance the nazi party only to have

unity thr ough blind worship of an opportun ist leader have now become whe ther they wanted to or not and certainly without intending to be full blown fascists who have on their hands state capitalism which is merely another remedy that is doomed to failure unless war with its temp orory prosperities intervenes and the fascist state or party is in the unenviable position of having to keep right on

war ag adnst it for nearly six years thirty percent or us have a hazy idea of what it is or at least a feeling and ten percent can state bluntly its state capitalism and even that state ment while true enough lsn t good enough because although fascism ends up as state capitalism it app ears in many otrer guises during its development many of them very appealing it might be well at this point to ex press appreclatlor to lome t morgan j associate profefsor of political econ omy at the university of toronto who wrou the pamphlet fascism upon which this articn- is hosed we con sider the use o his pamphlet to be justiflabl in view of the fact that much of the information it conains might not ordinarily come within the range of interest of the majority of voters who read this paper regularly but whose votes this summer will have a more far reaching importance than ever before thinking canad ians must face the fact squarely that as louis nizer says in his book what to do with germany the mom ent that peace comes may well be the most dngerou moment in the history of the world wnat we have come to call for want of a bet er name the second world war may leave in its wake an even more difficult war to win war against an idea so meet your enemy there are several basic require merits for the initial g and dev elopment of fascism one is economlo crisis or depression with its accomp anying unemployment and craving by the people for personal financial sec urity two others are failure of previously tried economic remedies and the resultant disuhisionment with djenucratic processes which lni another k that capitalism must have reached that stage of mon opolistic development which has been so apparent fo- nearly three decades and the final and perhaps the most important prerequisite is the realization by the socalled big interests that their wealth ant holdings are in ser ious danger of expropriation there you have the political and ec onomic ground which is waiting for the seed of fascism the seed la for med or has been to date of middle- class movements comprising certain groups of labour whitecollar work ers technicians independent artisans small traders and landowners mem bers of the professions and others of similar economic status including clerical trade inlons and the army these men and women who feel uuit their economic security is seriously threatened are seriously critical of the big interest and in this phase of the development of rascism their aims are socialistic this motley group might be called social dem i ocrats because while their alms ultimately are socialistic they believe that they can be attained within the 1 existing political economic and legl rramework understand that these social dem ocrats ar for the most part sincere and 6f ore m d in their desire to better the lot of the average man to ensure him and themselves of cour se security and lmproied social ser vices however social democracy has failed in everj case in which it has been conf roi ted by fascism and it is confrontcc bj fascism when it gains the support eurreptiuo is or otherwise of big business and this is vhere the picture chang es the aforementioned big business gives that support because it can al ready see itself seriously threatened by communism which develops in tempo to the social demccrsthbwever communism would mean the death

ceaitive the pure political is more important than the purely economic in that the inttretrta of the state super sede those of all classes groups and individuals however within those limits the profit

element of actual state owner ship and operation of industry moti vated by the diluted profit incentive a study of fascism gives convinc tog proof that fascism can hafp en here giver the proper cond itions for its growth it can flourish as well in canada as in italy or ger many we must never make the grave mistake of letting ourelves believe that our particular mentalities are such that we are immune to the virus so for our politics and economy have operated on a programme of mutual protection however when the one is endangered the lhreat to the other is proportionately as great when a countrys economic life is threatened the political system has to conquer the enemy or perish another point that study makes obvious is that fascism is not planned it develops in spite of planning and foresight fascism doe not spring solely from the petty mlddl class reform parties from which its earliest members are recruited nor does it stem solely from big business but it does take root and thrive when the two combine to defeat communism that fact how ever should not be taken to mean that communism is the alternative to fascism bui what the alternative is depends upon a weuinfoitned and politically vigorous canadian populace fascten is an inexorable progression from an economlr condition to a poli tical conclusion the route it takes leads to personal and national tragedy fascism will appear in canada when conojtionb are right for its growth but it wont be called fascism if we don t study it learn what it is and why it exists we wont recognize it when u against it true wert it fur
