I will never understand why fascists feel the need to hide their beliefs when the masses will never shut up about their undying love for Hitler or the KKK.

It's our beliefs that alienate the average person and it gets tiring having to sugar coat "please at least TRY to respect someone other than yourself you worthless narcissists."

I don't really agree. without appealing to "human nature," i'm pretty sure that the median working class person, even in the united snakes of amerikkka, tends towards altruism and empathy, and i think you have to believe this to be an effective communist. it is a fact that power and wealth in this country are significantly to the right of the people. there are much more complex psychological pressures working against us than the inherent evil of the american soul.
