It's not neo-fascism.
Look around.
But don't just look around,
Look back. And
What you see isn't that.
Not fascism, not even neo-fascism.
It is the farce of fascism.
A farce: dumb, unideological,
Cynical
And nihilistic.
Its Hitlers, even its Moussolinis,
Have devolved to
Algorithms
Of engragement (not a typo).
At the least
Those bad priests
Of ressentiment,
had stature, the stature
of the Pathetic, Nietzsche would say, but
Not
Like today's
Pathetic stature. Even if hate
Is always ultimately empty
With depths that point a smelly finger back
Into your eye,
These figures were there to,
In the fascist's mind's eye
Stand for it. They met
A grisly end
By the people, many of whom - their people,
By their enemies...
We had it, maybe
Not better, but still
Had it
When the world was only being
Demystified.
We now live
In a decrypted world
An age of iron men replaced
By the ageless, endless
Walking corpses of the undead.
These hordes have no
Reason
Nor rhymes, not even
Bad ones. True evil
is the impossibility
of the Bad.
Nothing left to
Hang or suicide, no statues
To topple --
No lessons learned.
