fascists such as Saddam Hussein the United States, and Slobodan Milosevic
the Muslims, as enemies, and all creating an artificial unity with this
imagined threat. This fictitious danger is fascism's most important
propaganda weapon, by which a grievous menace is said to exist, and the
fascist leader is portrayed as a "hero" who will save his people from it. In this
illusory scenario, the artificial enemy is always brought under attack, and
the fascist leader heroically repels him and defends his people. That is why
the people of Iraq are still so attached to Saddam Hussein, despite all his
oppression. Saddam has expertly managed to use his own ruthlessness in
the media to denounce other countries as enemies.

Fascist Paranoia

One of the most blatant features of the fascist state is its distrust of its
own people, and the way by which it attempts to eliminate everybody it has
doubts about through ruthless methods, even to the extent of murder.
Nearly all fascist regimes institute "secret police" forces to keep their own
populations under control and weed out the opposition. The infamous
Gestapo is a proof of the scale of the torture and savagery that the paranoia
of fascist regimes leads to. In his book The True Believer, Eric Hoffer describes
the policy of fear implemented by the Nazis to keep the public under
control.

The ran-and-file within the Nazi party were made to feel that they
were continually under observation and were kept in a permanent
state of uneasy conscience and fear. Fear of one's neighbors, one's
friends and even one's relatives seems to be the rule within all mass
movements. Now and then innocent people are deliberately accused
and sacrificed in order to keep suspicion alive. 42
Fascism believes that if people are left to their own devices they will
both betray the regime and become decadent. The way to bring the people
to heel is by the use of repression. The French philosopher George Sorel
(1847-1922), one of the ideologues of fascism, and who was a particular
influence on Mussolini, heads the list of those who believed in the idea. Sorel
maintained that societies naturally became decadent and disordered. In his
view, this decay had to be prevented by the use of force, through the
establishment of a totalitarian order.
Fascist paranoia still continues today. It is this suspiciousness that lies
