We see growing trends of centralization, suppression, censorship in America today.

Are we devolving toward some kind of tyranny, fascism, civil war?

In this special episode, I bring on one of the world's leading authorities on fascism.

Professor Stanley Payne to discuss these issues, not just historically, but also apply them to America today.

This is the Dineshtus Oozha podcast.

We see very disturbing trends all around us.

These are trends, by the way, that conservatives warned about before the election.

We said very emphatically that bad things would happen if Biden was elected.

Bad things would happen if the Democrats maintained a grip on both houses of Congress.

That what we would see is not merely an expansion of the centralized state.

Not just economic confiscation, higher tax rates, more regulation, a kind of stifling of the economy.

But even an effort to whip the corporate sector into line, a sports team into line, the aggression of the left seems to know no bounds.

You think they would be content with saying, well, listen, we got the universities, we got Hollywood, what do we care about?

The NFL or the skating team, but they do care.

They want to establish this harmony across the whole society.

Now, the Nazis at a term for this, Gleikschelthong, a coordination.

And we see, I think, in the left today some strong hints of not Nazism, but fascism, fascism.

And yet that term is so highly contested. We've got this group Antifa, Antifa, so the branding themselves as fighting fascism, and yet you have to look around there, where are the fascists that they are fighting?

So what do these terms even mean? What is fascism?

Now, when I get into this with various pundits on social media, you have people like the historian Kevin Cruz, who don't know, should understand fascism at all.
