I agree that there are _incipient_ fascist tendencies in the US. I believe revealing those tendencies and where they come from are liberating acts. I feel the tone here on the part of some may be "don't waste our time explaining social science." But science can be liberating. And there's still enough of the Trotskyist in me to believe that, at some pragmatically limited level, consciousness must precede revolutionary activism.
I am also glad you don't feel smug about living in England. But my partner and I have certainly considered expatriation many times in the last year, and England keeps coming up.
