Anyone can use repetition to get a message out, but it's a training tool, not a reasoning tool - it works equally on pigs, dogs, and humans.

Absolutely -- tactics are value-neutral.

When it gets into the wrong hands as a political tool, and it always does - we have fascism.

That strikes me as a bit over the top. It's only true if the fascists, and nobody else, are using the best tactics.

But, like socialism, I guess it just hasn't been tried by the righ people yet, right?

Whatever. Mind if we get back to the FRIVA discussion now?
