"A left opposition that counts on the institutions, on the legitimacy of a discourse on human rights, on judgements in the Hague court, that is committed to peace and democratic rituals - is not prepared to face an enemy eager to murder in the name of God and country."
-The Ex-Worker Podcast, episode #91 - Elections, Fascism, and Popular Resistance in Brazil

We forget sometimes that the essence of democracy is to question. In those days [McCarthy Era], people thought - some still do - that liberal meant Communist. To me a liberal is one who moves slightly left when the Fascists get too strong and slightly right when the Communists get too pushy. A real liberal has to be flexible that way. …. I believe in liberality of thought and have no time for any kind of totalitarianism - be it right or left.
