      Fascist regimes don’t last long because they all eventually turn their violence inward. They breed the sort of mistrust and lack of questioning that don’t make them effective societies.

        Would Franco’s Spain and Pinoche’s Argentina somewhat contradict that assertion? They both lasted a good long time before there was a slow transition away from their regimes from what I remember.

        I doubt she’ll get any judgement in life, and being agnostic I doubt she’ll get any after it.

        Unfortunately, much too often the reward of evil is wealth and power.
