I told several of my friends: there is a "smell" you recognize. The word "fascism" is too precise; it's brute strength, raw power, hatred, greed, the strong preying on the weak.

It's ugly, atavistic, transcends politics. It doesn't take much to resurface.  Look at East Germany. You still smell it in Spain, parts of Spain, if you're really attuned. They won't tell you, but there's still an awful number of people who LIKE Franco.
