Some decades ago a wise man said, “The fascists of tomorrow will be called anti-fascists.” It seems that tomorrow is already here and we may as well say, “The fascists of today call themselves anti-fascists.”
Enter Shepard Fairey, the favorite visual agitator and propagandist of the American Left. We don’t think he considers himself a fascist at all. It’s just that when he tries to think of the coolest possible visual for a socialist candidate like Bernie Sanders, he comes up with a design that not only screams “national socialism” due to its style and execution, but directly imitates the elements and composition of Nazi paraphernalia.
In a fit of tin-ear enthusiasm, he posts it on his site: SHOUTOUT FROM BERNIE!
The official Bernie Sanders campaign was only happy to run with it, selling T-shirts with Fairey’s design for $30 a piece. Black shirts, white shirts – but no brown shirts, sorry. – See more HERE.

And they say that we don’t learn anything from history? I would say that from one point of view, but with the rise of Neo-Naziism in Germany and here in the US, Bernie at least knows what sells well on the college campuses.

Yes! Bring it on! What is it about anarchy that is so appealing?
