But this practice of drawing bright lines seems ill-advised. Maybe it would be better to think of fascism as one of the axes of a multi-dimensional space. In terms of actual societies, Sweden in the 1970s is at -1 on that axis, and Franco's Spain is at +1. Or +5. Or choose your own benchmarks. Metrics are always interesting, but deltas are even more interesting. Which way are we going, on the Sweden/Franco axis? The trend looks pretty plain to me. -- Michael Smith m...@smithbowen.net http://stopmebeforeivoteagain.org http://fakesprogress.blogspot.com http://cars-suck.org "Everyone has his favorite passage from the Theodosian Code." -- M I Finley ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
