I find them sort of scary and funny at the same time - a bit like Hitler. Anytime I stumble on these... erm... publications around the web Adorno's essay on Martin Luther Thomas quickly comes to mind. And although, in part thanks to the anti-globalisation movement, the term can now be legitimately used to designate anyone wearing a tie, I can't help but utter it in this context, with the qualification that its not part of my everyday vocabulary - fascists.
