barthes, sometime in 1977, remarked that #language is #fascist since it #compels you to do things, think stuff in particular manners.

i wonder whether, apart from the obvious, it can be claimed that fascism is in fact an institutionalised compulsion.
eg when one is Obliged consider the Other as a threat - even if they aren't - being acted on a mass scale.
just a passing thought..
