The next Triangle Socialist Forum meeting will be
Saturday, July 21st at 2:30 at the Chapel Hill Public
Library, to discuss whether not the US society is becoming
more fascistic. I might have a short video or clips
to show again and I expect someone from a local branch
of the Bill of Rights Defense Committee
(www.bordc.org ) will come. The meeting will probably
focus on civil liberties and democracy, but as was
discussed at the last meeting, there is more to
fascism than just the overthrow of representative
democracy.

Two readings to consider:
Chapter 28 of Michael C. Ruppert's book Crossing the
Rubicon focuses on the loss of civil rights and some
other things and presents a good case.
www.fromthewilderness.com has two essays that I think
are the same ones excerpted in that chapter, The "F"
Word and Trial Balloon? under the civil liberties
section of the website. The book overall is mainly
about problems with the official account of 9/11,
which we could consider at the meeting, but that argument is not
necessary to discuss fascism in this country.
After I suggested the readings for the last meeting, I
found another reading on fascism that might be useful
to look at. Chapter 4 of Fascism and Social
Revolution and the short section on Franklin D
Roosevelt's administration, starting on page 267,
might be most appropriate. The book is online at:
www.plp.org/books/Dutt.html
Let me know if you need printed copies of the
readings.
