And the third European fascist state - Franco's Spain - actually took in and saved some Jews during WWII. Murdering potential enemies is a characteristic of fascism; spending so much energy murdering non-enemies simply shows up one of the defects of fascist systems, their vulnerability to the mental quirks of a single man.

Fascism is too historically wrecked to be used to effect in modern discourse. As such, we need a new word for fascism, which meams simply fascism without the jewish murder. Can we have a new word?

And in the other corner, the non-TARP lenders, and the shape of bankruptcy law, if not the TARP, to come. This will be entertaining to say the least.
