The Fascists by Claude Simon

	The fascists take over.

	This is the end of freedom and liberty when those who make their unyielding viewpoint law by force of might rather than discourse. They vilify the questioners of the status quo and the outsiders.  They shut out and shut down critical thought and reason.   Their instincts overshadow their logic and their moral certainty drives their conquest. Crime and punishment rule the day. Disorder is banished.  Loyalty prevails over decency and sympathy. The prevalence and perpetuation of their own kind is their only goal.

	But ulitimately they fail. The questioners are the engine of adaptation and adaptation is the key to longevity.
