  • The Danger of American Fascism - Henry Wallace

    The Danger of American Fascism - Henry Wallace
    Nov 17 2024

    "The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information."

    These words, written in 1944 by Henry A. Wallace, Vice President under Franklin D. Roosevelt, resonate as deeply today as they did during the height of World War II. Wallace’s essay, The Danger of American Fascism, originally published in The New York Times, is a stark warning about the insidious threats to democracy from within.

    Henry Wallace’s essay, written nearly 80 years ago, serves as a guidepost in uncertain times. As Wallace himself said:

    "If we put our trust in the common sense of common men and 'with malice toward none and charity for all' go forward on the great adventure of making political, economic, and social democracy a practical reality, we shall not fail."

    So, I’ll leave you with this question: What are we doing today to ensure democracy remains a practical reality?

    And how can we resist the insidious influence of those who would sacrifice truth and justice for money and power?
