Naomi Woolf has identified the ten steps that governments take when they wish to create and consolidate a fascist regime. Handy that it should be exactly ten, eh?
Oh, and did she mention that all ten of them are being actively pursued by the Bush Administration?
See how far you can get with the article. I got to point 3, where Woolf starts to talk about the ‘development of a thug caste‘:
OK.
Right.
I see.
Hmm….
‘Thugs in America? Groups of angry young Republican men, dressed in identical shirts and trousers…‘
OK Naomi, I have to go now…to do…a thing.

I didn’t get past the first sentence of the first step — “After we were hit on September 11 2001, we were in a state of national shock.” It was clear as crystal where she was going with that. Try a little harder next time, Naomi.
