The genius of fascism is that any political structure can host the virus and virtually any developed country can become a suitable home. Fascism talks ideology but it is really just marketing for power.

OBSERVATION: The March 15, 2026 edition of the Sunday New York Times had, as it always does, its magazine inside the Book Review section. And on this occasion, note the place in the Book Review featuring Toni Morrison, where the magazine was inserted and the cover of the magazine. Subliminal messaging, racism, mere coincidence, intentional, or all of the above? (This comes less than two months after Trumpβs racism against the Obamas.)
You be the judge.

Born this day: 02/18/1931 (d. 08/05/2019)
Toni Morrison was a Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist whose work explored Black American life with lyrical intensity. Her novels, including "Beloved," "Song of Solomon," and "The Bluest Eye," redefined the American literary canon, fusing mythic resonance with psychological realism to confront the inherited trauma of slavery and memory.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toni_Morrison

Fascism talks ideology, but it is really just marketingβmarketing for power. It is recognizable by its need to purge, by the strategies it uses to purge, and by its terror of truly democratic agendas. It is recognizable by its determination to convert all public services to private entrepreneurship, all nonprofit organizations to profit-making onesβso that the narrow but protective chasm between governance and business disappears... β #ToniMorrison #BlackHistory

It changes citizens into taxpayersβso individuals become angry at even the notion of the public good. It changes neighbors into consumersβso the measure of our value as humans is not our humanity or our compassion or our generosity but what we own. It changes parenting into panickingβso that we vote against the interests of our own children; against their health care, their education, their safety from weapons... β #ToniMorrison #BlackHistory

And in effecting these changes it produces the perfect capitalist, one who is willing to kill a human being for a product (a pair of sneakers, a jacket, a car) or kill generations for control of products (oil, drugs, fruit, gold). β #ToniMorrison #BlackHistory

"The forces interested in fascist solutions to national problems are not to be found in one political party or another, or in one or another wing of any single political party.
... the genius of fascism is that any political structure can host the virus and virtually any developed country can become a suitable home. Fascism talks ideology, but it is really just marketingβββmarketing for power."

"Iβm not a victim. I refuse to be oneβ¦ if you can only be tall because somebody is on their knees, then you have a serious problem.

"The Work You Do, the Person You Are
The pleasure of being necessary to my parents was profound. I was not like the children in folktales: burdensome mouths to feed.
(. . .)
Part of my pride in working for Her was earning money I could squander: on movies, candy, paddleballs, jacks, ice-cream cones. But a larger part of my pride was based on the fact that I gave half my wages to my mother, which meant that some of my earnings were used for real thingsβan insurance-policy payment or what was owed to the milkman or the iceman. The pleasure of being necessary to my parents was profound. I was not like the children in folktales: burdensome mouths to feed, nuisances to be corrected, problems so severe that they were abandoned to the forest. I had a status that doing routine chores in my house did not provideβand it earned me a slow smile, an approving nod from an adult. Confirmations that I was adultlike, not childlike.
In those days, the forties, children were not just loved or liked; they were needed. They could earn money; they could care for children younger than themselves; they could work the farm, take care of the herd, run errands, and much more. I suspect that children arenβt needed in that way now. They are loved, doted on, protected, and helped. Fine, and yet . . ."
