• Fascism only grows in the disturbed soil of a mature democracy in crisis.
• Sara Robinson of the Campaign for America’s Future • In a column on Alternet discussing whether fascism could happen in the U.S. someday, particularly in the wake of harsh protests during the Obama administration in recent weeks.
