China Fascism weeds out the "unfit" from higher education

[Christopher Rhoades Dÿkema]

Actually "blood and soil"  (Blut und Scholle in German) is a pair of concepts
that looks back to an idealized peasant community. In the US, though "blood and
oil" is the reality the idealized object of nostalgia is the independent
businessman and small commercial farmer. This is one of the key differences
between authoritarianism here and authoritarianism in the form of fascism in
Europe a few generations ago. That's also why the connection between
authoritarianism and Christianity is closer here, because European fascist
authoritarianism looked back to a period when Christianity was less of a mass
ideology.
