Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. - George Orwell

But Fascism is also a political and economic system. Why, then, cannot we have a clear and generally accepted definition of it? Alas! we shall not get one—not yet, anyway. To say why would take too long, but basically it is because it is impossible to define Fascism satisfactorily without making admissions which neither the Fascists themselves, nor the Conservatives, nor Socialists of any colour, are willing to make. All one can do for the moment is to use the word with a certain amount of circumspection and not, as is usually done, degrade it to the level of a swearword.

Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.

[...]I should say that it is a good rule of thumb never to mention religion if you can possibly avoid it.
