From Judt on Fascist Rhetoric | Clarissa's Blog
I think when the psyche is very brittle, you do need to take a black and white approach, simply because a slight mistake with a compromise could change the psychological margins for you in a significant way, such that instead of staying on the side of sanity, you go mad, or lose your health, or get in with the wrong crowd and die.
I think this kind of redemptive radicalism is often mistaken for fascism by those who have never had to fight for themselves in this way.
