Wartime Army Anti-Fascism Text Recirculates Amid US Political Debate
Original: In the United States, native fascists have often been anti-Catholic, anti-Jew, anti-Negro, anti-Labor, anti-foreign-born
A passage from a wartime US Army educational text is circulating again, stating that native fascists in the United States have often been anti-Catholic, anti-Jewish, anti-Black, anti-labor and anti-foreign-born. The material, produced to help American soldiers understand fascism during and after World War II, is being shared as commentary on contemporary US politics, with readers drawing parallels between the historical description and current political rhetoric.
Why now: The historical warning about American fascism is being invoked in current debates over US political extremism.
