What the Right Looks Like, with R. Stanton Scott: Army Orientation Fact Sheet 64 - Fascism
In March 1945, the US Army distributed a discussion guide for leaders covering fascism, including whether it existed or could exist in the US. These guides were used by leaders in the field to inform soldiers and help them understand why they were fighting. In this episode, the first in a series, I read the guide and comment on parallels with American politics today. Here's a link to the Army Fact Sheet: https://archive.org/details/ArmyTalkO... In future episodes, I plan to analyze the right wing reactionary movement using primary sources such as podcasts, essays, reports, and policy documents. My goal here is to help viewers understand this movement, its goals, and methods, as well as discussing the end state they hope to achieve.
