I bailed when it went from "Ecology", based on logos or knowledge, and became Environmentalism, an ism based on belief like "facism, communism, or consumerism.
Exactly! Fascism-its all about Fascism!

I appreciate the article & am very glad you posted-but we seem to ignore that we swim in a sea of Fascist sharks-here at home. Yes, sharks-for instance, they would & do kill our very babies in abortion mills-& they sell the parts.
The Left in America is run by & for our very own Fascists. They have very nearly overwhelmed our entire society & the culture we cherish.

Modern Fascism, a book by Gene Edward Veith , Jr.

Reviewer: A reader from Seattle, WA United States
Most people are only exposed to two historical aspects of Nazi Germany - WWII military campaigns and the Holocast. This book eloquently and thoroughly presents the most important aspect of the rise of Fascism in Germany, which is in fact the development of the philosophy and world-view of progressive, anti-Judeo-Christian European high-culture.
Hitler and the Nazis should not be dismissed as insane lunatics. The terror they unleashed was perfectly rational within their world-view which was based on Atheism (paganism), Socialism, and Darwinism. With Atheism, there is no absolute right and wrong & the ends justify the means. With Socialism, the greater good is more important than the rights of the individual. With Darwinism, man is just a highly advanced animal evolving by tooth and claw - survival of the fittest! What transpired in Europe was inevitable given the prevailing philosophies.
I think that Hitler and his leutenants absolutely believed they were creating a Utopia - within the framework of their worldview.
The Nazi leaders and their actions were put on trial at Nuremberg, but the philosophers, and especially the ideas that made the rise of Nazism possible, escaped serious scrutiny. The ideas are alive and well in modern progressive circles. History is ripe to repeat itself. (ie. Hatred of Christianity, expanding socialism, and promotion of evolution in public edu-indoctrination"
Please see more on Fascism in my tagline. Thank you.
