OUR IMPERFECT DEMOCRACIES

Dear Friends,
Sufilight asks:
"Has USA become a fascist country?"
I say: "No".
My commentaries: there is a huge difference between USA's present-day, limited democracy, and a Fascist regime.
In a Nazi-Fascist regime there is no liberty to criticize the government.
There is one and only political party. Opposition leaders are murdered or arrested. There is not free press at all. There is not Congress. Usually there are no elections. The Dictator is a lifelong, infallible "leader", like the Pope and worse, because his Political Police has a license to kill and not newspaper will tell the story.
People who call the USA Nazi-Fascist do not know what they are talking about, and never lived under a real dictatorship.
The USA and Europe, with their imperfect democracy, are the frontline of the 5th subrace of 5th Race. We are living a civilization crisis, true.
We should be able to criticize Iran AND the USA; Hamas AND Fatah (for their conflicts in the last few days); and we should be able to see a better future, even if AFTER a world crisis.
If we only criticize the Arabs bloody dictatorships, but don't see the ethical failure of Neoliberalism, IMF and the USA, then there is some BIAS.
If we only criticize the WEST and never talk about the "Islamic" terror, about "Islamic" authoritarianism, then there is also some BIAS, and THEOSOPHY should liberate us from Bias.
It is the same as thinking, on the one hand, that Adyar TS has all legitimacy and other groups have no value; or, on the other hand, to say that Adyar TS is perfectly useless and completely harmful, having no sincere students in it, but that the"Blavatskian" groups have the monopoly of true Theosophy, etc.
Bias prevents the work of Buddhi-Manas.
Now, if people start to get caught at home and taken by the Political Police, tortured and killed; if public meetings of whatever kind are forbidden except those in favour of the government; if Congress and political parties are closed; if theosophical meetings are forbidden and there no more elections --- well, THIS IS NAZI-FASCISM.
Regards, Carlos.
