    In spite of all this overwhelming, first-hand evidence, which is freely available under the Nuremberg Trial Transcripts in English, why does this myth of "government-overreach" persist? Many unions had independent media and news services. Many of them did not survive McCarthyism. Therefore, we are deprived of a first-hand account of the horrors of Fascism.

Combine this with

and it becomes apparent that, even if they aren't intended to be fascist, plenty of government and corporate policies play directly into the fascists' hands.
