Call for the abolition of family
In March 2020 the Open Democracy website has published an article that called for the abolition of the family and for an end to private property.[7][8] Cited for the abolition of family is an article on Communemag[9] and a Tweet by one of its editors.[10]
Article on American fascism
An article by Louie Dean Valencia-García, Assistant Professor of Digital History at Texas State University, published mid January 2021, headlines: "This is American fascism - Like Mussolini’s March on Rome and Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch, Donald Trump’s Insurrection is the beginning of years of street violence."
She concludes the article:
“Fascism and conspiratorial thinking have seeped into the minds of millions of Americans. If we compare Mussolini’s March on Rome and Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch to Donald Trump’s Insurrection we should be reminded that the former examples were only the beginning of years of street violence. We can’t address this problem until we call it by its name: fascism.”
