(the title is a reference to how units of foreigners fighting fascism during the Spanish Civil War would name their units after historical figures they admired)
There was an interesting article in the NY Times a few days ago. It's here (you may have to register).
It's about how some people in the GOP and the conservative parts of the media are going to start talking about how Obama's plans are "economic fascism." The main proponent of this approach is Saul Anuzis.
Anuzis talking about fascism got my attention. You should read the following link. It's from a site that monitors the MSU-Young Americans for freedom, the only college group to be declared a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law center.
Anuzis on MSU-YAF's Fuhrer (Anuzis defended the leader of the group (Kyle Bristow) from attacks) UPDATE 1/25/11 Since the YAFWatch blog is still down, you should look at this instead.
For more on Bristow's fascism, besides the entirety of the YAFWatch blog,
specifically see
British National Party
Runes and Leftists (actually the main thing here is actually a link to another part of YAFwatch about the Norse rune Bristow likes)
Democracy
UPDATE11/30/10 For some reason the YAFWATCH blog is now open only to invited guests. Hopefully this will change soon, at least one person is looking into it.
UPDATE 10/7/10 SOLID PROOF!! UPDATE 1/25/11 Since the YAFWatch blog is still unavailable, you should look at this instead.
Yeah, Anuzis is a real anti-fascist warrior alright.
This blog is mostly about 3 themes- Irish Republicanism, Star Trek, and opposition to bigotry, primarily in America (racism, homophobia, anti-semitism, etc.). It is mostly about Northern Ireland. It will mostly be about these issues in general and past events and will only sometimes touch on current events. Feel free to comment on the earlier posts.
About My Blog
My blog is about history, popular culture, politics and current events from a democratic socialist and Irish republican perspective. The two main topics are Northern Ireland on one hand and fighting anti-Semitism, racism and homophobia on the other. The third topic is supporting the Palestinians, and there are several minor topics. The three main topics overlap quite a bit. I have to admit that it’s not going to help me get a graduate degree, especially because it’s almost always written very casually. But there are some high-quality essays, some posts that come close to being high-quality essays, political reviews of Sci-Fi TV episodes (Star Trek and Babylon 5), and a unique kind of political, progressive poetry you won't find anywhere else. (there are also reviews of episodes of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit and reviews of Roseanne)
(my old blog was not showing up in Google search results AT ALL (99% of it wasn't being web-crawled or indexed or whatever) and there was another big problem with it, so this is a mirror of the old one although there will be some occassionnal editing of old posts and there will be new posts. I started this blog 12/16/20; 4/28/21 I am now done with re-doing the internal links on my blog) (the Google problem with my blog (only 1% of this new one is showing up in Google search results) is why I include a URL of my blog when commenting elsewhere, otherwise I would get almost no visitors at all)
(The "Table of Contents" offers brief descriptions of all but the most recent posts)
(I just recently realized that my definition of "disapora" was flawed- I thought it included, for example, Jews in Israel, the West Bank and the Golan Heights, and with the Irish diaspora, the Irish on that island. I'll do some work on that soon (11/21/20 I have edited the relevant paragraph in my post about Zionism))
(If you're really cool and link to my blog from your site/blog, let me know) (if you contact me, use the word "blog" in the subject line so I'll know it's not spam)
