Where Might the Rise of New Fascism Originate?

F. A. Hayek observed that the bulk of supporters of fascism and National Socialism prior to World War II did not come from the poor or rich classes. Rather, he notes:

"The resentment of the lower middle class, from which fascism and National Socialism recruited so large a proportion of their supporters, was intensified by the fact that their education and training had in many instances made them aspire to directing positions and that they regarded themselves as entitled to be members of the directing class."
- The Road to Serfdom, edited by Bruce Caldwell, 2007, The University of Chicago Press, p. 145

Sounds like some of the contemporary political movements in both parties in the United States today.

Political Extremism

Regarding the shooting incident today by a Bernie Sanders supporter attempting to murder Republican Congressmen: this is what can happen when someone allows politics to define their life: extremism. This is why I urge people not to let politics distort how they view people. Those with whom you disagree are usually people like you. When we dehumanize our political opponents, this type of behavior can occur. This guy was clearly an extremist on the left, and it can happen on the right, as well.
Also, the Capitol Police who responded are real heroes! They prevented a massacre from happening.
