Then and Now: Fascism

"On June 5, 1944....Roosevelt told the American people that Rome had fallen..We...are doing everything we can to bring them relief. (W)e made preparations to ship food supplies to the city…we have already begun to save the lives of the men, women and children of Rome….

"That speech highlighting logistics as a key difference between democracy and fascism comes to mind these days as we watch democracy and authoritarianism clash in Ukraine."

"Russian president Vladimir Putin...the ideology of liberalism on which democracy is based has 'outlived its purpose. Multiculturalism, freedom, and human rights must give way to the culture, traditions, and traditional family values of millions of people making up the core population.'
