The wealthy classes in England are so afraid of Communism, which so far has not threatened them at all, that they have thrown themselves into the arms of Nazism and now don’t know which way to turn.

Episode 67: The Hangman
A short film using limited animation, “The Hangman” is based on a poem written by Maurice Ogden in 1951 and published in 1954. This was a time when the wounds left by the Holocaust were still fresh and time in America when McCarthyism brought a new wave of fascism and tyranny.
It was inspired by the famous quote by Martin Niemöller:
“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
Its about how fascism and tyranny thrive when apathy grows. When good people stand by and do nothing while other good people are robbed of their rights and lives. The Hangman claims victim after victim, his power overshadowing justice, while people do nothing to stop him.
If fascism could be defeated in debate, I assure you that it would never have happened, neither in Germany, nor in Italy, nor anywhere else. Those who recognised its threat at the time and tried to stop it were, I assume, also called “a mob”. Regrettably too many “fair-minded” people didn’t either try, or want to stop it, and, as I witnessed myself during the war, accommodated themselves when it took over … People who witnessed fascism at its height are dying out, but the ideology is still here, and its apologists are working hard at a comeback. Past experience should teach us that fascism must be stopped before it takes hold again of too many minds, and becomes useful once again to some powerful interests.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
