How #Fascism Works

"Empires in decline are particularly susceptible to fascist politics because of this sense of loss. It is in the very nature of empire to create a hierarchy; #empires legitimize their colonial enterprises by a myth of their own #exceptionalism. In the course of decline, the population is easily led to a sense of national #humiliation that can be mobilized in fascist politics to serve various purposes."
