- "Don't think that modern fascists are like Hitler or Mussolini. Today's Big Government-Big
- Business tyrants are just as willing to use violence. But they do it more efficiently than the
- old-time fascists-- with higher tech and lower costs to them. They have the best looks, poli-
- ticians, celebrities, and control mechanisms that money can buy. Yes, their own conscience
- tells them that true democracy would be nice. But suppressing their conscience, they under-
- mine the rights of the working and middle classes. Their operating principle is "Might, Money,
- Male, Murder-- and also White--Make Right." They wreck the environment. They fool you,
- rule you, use you, abuse you--and make you like it. They divide you by race, sex, class, and
- nationality. But they fear the power of the powerless. They're afraid of what you could do if
- you get off the boob tube and drugs, out of the night clubs and cut-throat competition--and
- work with others for equal rights."
