Falling Behind fascism_events.10

The once-meteoric rise of the … movement seems to have plateaued. Whilst the ideology is certain to remain, it will face a less receptive public, and a much more seasoned opposition.

There were those who had welcomed the rise of the fascist movement. It could be whatever they wished - laissez-faire, interventionist, paternalistic, libertarian, pious, secular. None of them had truly thought that its leaders believed in anything beyond dogged opposition to the communists, and every drop of blood spilled by a fascist truncheon was a drop that they would not need to shed themselves. Perhaps they still did welcome it, and its millenarian promises of clean streets and no Reds. But it was too serious, now, too familiar - and it had become too unpopular. Those who cared about credibility had learned to stay silent, and to offer their token condemnations of the violence when they needed to. It was a peculiar aberration from the mean, they said, one that that had run its course. And that was all there was to it.
