American Fascists: The Christian Right and The War On the US

Post by Terri2 »

Have you read or heard of American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War On America by Chris Hedges
Publishers Weekly wrote:Citing the psychology and sociology of fascism and cults, including the work of German historian Fritz Stern, Hedges draws striking parallels between 20th-century totalitarian movements and the highly organized, well-funded "dominionist movement," an influential theocratic sect within the country's huge evangelical population. Rooted in a radical Calvinism, and wrapping its apocalyptic, vehemently militant, sexist and homophobic vision in patriotic and religious rhetoric, dominionism seeks absolute power in a Christian state.
What do you think? Is Christianity a cult? Is America headed for fascism?
