32. Because it is taught and handed down.

Not always and not to everyone, but you are right. We cannot wait for them to die off because enough new little fascists are created to keep the system moving.

The thing that I am realizing is that conservatism is fascism lite and capitalism is the vehicle that is readily usable to slide politics to the right slowly but steadily.

There has to be some kind of paradigm shift. I don't know what because I don't know if or how socialism would actually work, but something has to change.
