Cruelty, authoritarianism, genocide, all the parts of humanity I abhor most — I am •unwilling• to entertain the idea that the potential for these things does not exist somewhere in me.
I am unwilling because I never, ever want fascism to take root in me. I don’t know how it would happen, but I do believe it would start with complacency.
I believe that it •could• be me, or you, and therefore we must fight every day to make sure it never is.
Antifascism is a practice, not a genetic trait.
