HISTORY IN THE MAKING 2008-2016

Good luck!

We've spent a good many years discussing politics, life, society and history. Most of all, the makers of history. The great events that changed the world - people, places, actions. Small acts have changed its hard-worn course, and effort and circumstance can make of its small actors immortal greats. In line with that sentiment, it seems pertinent now to recognize the potential of those who've made up this community for years, obvious through their contributions to the spirited debate and discussion that has proceeded here. HITM has sadly gone silent, though perhaps not lacking for things to say about making history, but rather for the realization that it is time we all commenced to do so, and make our mark.

Good luck to you all, see you in the history books!

My history teacher has a joke that Fascism is like pornography, there's no clear definition, but you know it when you see it.

Yea. Fascism has issues, born of the war, and unfortunately, merely by nature, doomed to return anybody under it to that under which it was born.
"There are strange things done in the midnight sun,
by the men who moil for gold; the arctic trails have their secret tales that'd make your blood run cold...
the Northern Lights have seen queer sights, but the queerest they ever did see...
was that night on the marge of Lake LeBarge, that I cremated Sam McGee."

Fascist also always talk about what they aren't and rarely of what they are.

I have some respect for Fascism. While it may lack certain (as in all) civil and social liberties, it does do something a democratic country does not; gets shit done. In a democratic country, it may take months to make a compromise on an issue, and that compromise may not solve the problem. However, in a Fascist dictatorship, a decision can be made and enacted immediately, for better or for worse.

Stalinism = Fail, evil, murder, victory over Nazi's.

So...Victory over Nazi's = fail?

No, Stalinism = fail, but it also = those other things.
