Analysis of Fascism and Racism in History
In America, the poet Langston Hughes said,
Negroes do not have to be told what fascism is in action.
We know.
It's theories of Nordic supremacy
and economic suppression have long been realities to us.
The Nazis, when they formulated the Nuremberg Laws,
modeled them on laws designed to disenfranchise blacks.
America's refusal to grant citizenship
to Native Americans and Filipinos,
although they lived in the U.S. and U.S. territories,
was emulated by the German fascists
who stripped citizenship from Jews.
American anti-miscegenation laws,
which criminalized interracial marriage,
were the impetus to outlaw marriages
between German Jews and Aryans.
American jurisprudence classified anyone
with 1% of black ancestry
the so-called one-drop rule as black.
The Nazis, ironically, showing more flexibility,
classified anyone with three or more
Jewish grandparents as Jewish.
The millions of indigenous victims of colonial projects
in countries such as Mexico, China, India, Australia,
the Congo, and Vietnam, for this reason,
are deaf to the fatuous claims by Zionists
that their victimhood is unique.
They, too, suffered holocausts,
but these holocausts remain minimized or unacknowledged
by their Western perpetrators.
Israel embodies the ethno-nationalist state
our own Christian fascists and the far-right dream
of creating for themselves,
one that rejects political and cultural pluralism,
as well as legal, diplomatic, and ethical norms.
Israel is admired by the far-right
because it has turned its back on humanitarian law
and uses indiscriminate lethal force
to cleanse its society of those condemned
as human contaminants.
