The Political “F-Word”

How “Fascism” Became a Substitute for “Evil”

The “F-Word”, or Fascism has been employed a lot lately as we get close to the election.

But why fascism? What they are doing is calling people fascist instead of saying evil.

Now that secular societies assume there is no God and therefore no such thing as good or evil that transcends humanity — there are simply good or evil humans — they replace the Devil with Hitler, and evil with fascism.

After WWII, and witnessing the pictures and videos of what the Nazi party did to Jews, which was followed by decades of persecutions and public testimony, the entire Western world decided that, without question, Nazism was by definition evil and unacceptable in any form. And since Hitler was the architect — the head of the Nazi snake — he was its devil.

Fair enough. They literally produced a hell on earth so you won’t get an argument from me about how evil he was to coordinate that.

Today in Western societies that deny the idea of God, which is a definition of good that exists beyond and above humanity, we still need a way to talk about what good is. But if you balk at saying “God” or using religious language, how can you describe the ultimate good?
