Friend,
Episode 144 uploaded February 5: Sam Goldman talks with Werner Lange, retired educator and pastor, Chair of the Ohio Peace Council and author of Onward Christian Soldiers: the MAGA March toward a Fascist America about the historical and modern day fascist movement. Read his recent piece, “A Lesson for America 90 Years After Hitler’s Ascension to Power” in Common Dreams where he writes, “the House Freedom Caucus is the functional equivalent of the NSDAP.”
We share a clip from an interview with Andrea Chalupa from Season 1 of Refuse Fascism due to its continuing relevance: Taking to the Streets Challenges the Dictator’s Legitimacy.

Werner Lange:
Fascism is nothing to be trivial about. It is an existential threat to humanity. All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing. That House Freedom Caucus is a cancerous caucus within the House of Representatives that will in the next two years do damage to our democracy. And I don't know if the democratic forces are strong enough to stop that. It is a very dangerous institutionalization of fascism in America today. We need to organize. We need to share. We need to lock arms and take on this great evil that is confronting us.
Andrea Chalupa:
Mass mobilization in good times and in bad times is essential to freedom to protect the most vulnerable to showing the world that none of this is okay. Within time, those movements grow electoral power, and they grow and they grow progress. Because what you have through mass mobilization is that people find each other. People are strengthened. There's their solidarity and all of that courage, all of that faith spreads and it's very powerful, which is why dictators are terrified and do everything they can to try to stop it.
