Sat, 01 May 2021 19:10 UTC A few thoughts on the connection between post-modernism and the new American communo-fascism are in order. The evolution from post-modernism to neo-communism, communo-fascism, or liberal fascism — whatever label one prefers — was predetermined by the similarity of the two in terms of their methodologies and imperatives for controlling indeed monopolizing discourse and thus consciousness.

In doing so as a nation we must take stock of the costs incurred and benefits accrued. Top of the list is the cost in Australian lives.
