@philip_cardella I was going to say What about democracy but then I saw you listed the element of violence

Then again, back to democracy…!? But I suppose when democracy is corrupted and violence gets ingrained into a democratic culture, maybe it too morphs toward fascism…?

My brain hurts. So does my heart and spirit.

Well, history also shows there can be a cult formed around a fascist leader... which has happened today among CONservatives and Repugnicans (cough cough Donald Trump cough cough) as well as in totalitarian states like Russia and North Korea.
Both of which are, of course, the political models our own conservative parties envy and want to emulate.
