It’s not hard to imagine what a an autocrat would do in any given situation, just ask yourself “what would the führer do?”

Picture meeting the führer, someone given to extreme temper tantrums when opposed, prepared to throw himself on the floor, shriek, kick his feet, bite the legs of the chairs, the carpet, sob, threaten, perform a terrifying, disorienting display of insane need for total dominance. Not to mention a violent vindictive streak and deep personal pleasure taken in the fatal suffering of his enemies.  

Then picture ever disagreeing with or contradicting that titan of will. Imagine that kind of shameless, insane, vengeful, murderous asshole, that personality, in charge of an entire nation.  It’s very easy to imagine what the führer would do in any given situation just as it’s easy to imagine what Jesus would do, or Buddha, or any prophet or person of righteousness you’d like.

Fascism is the dream state of the powerful narcissist, because under fascism, the will of the leader, and those who benefit from the leader’s will, is the only law of society and society’s only value. Charles Koch’s dream world, the dream of his loveless father fucking Fred Koch, who, as he created his psychopath sons, built the oil refineries for Hitler’s Luftwaffe, and Frederick Christ Trump, the highly successful psychopath who exploited government incentives after World War II to build middle-class housing, and then along with his filthy ilk, forced the creation of the Fair Housing Rights Act in 1965, which he fought with all his might using the Devil’s own Roy Kohn, alternately humiliating and supporting his own second choice idiot son Donald, all the while. 

Fascism is the dream state of any psychopath who dreams, joylessly, of bending the world to his insane will.
