“We each have a Nazi within,” says Auschwitz survivor Edith Eger .

Many of us harbor the seeds for hatred, rage, fear, narcissistic self-regard and contempt for others that, in their most venomous and extreme forms, can feed the all-destructive torrent we call fascism, given enough provocation or encouragement.

Nobody is born with rabid hatred, untrammelled rage, existential fear or cold contempt permanently embedded in their minds or hearts.

Gabor Maté : The amygdala, the tiny almond-shaped brain structure that mediates fear, is larger in people with more rightwing views.

Fascism, in that sense, is an all too human phenomenon, an outcome of many influences salient among which, on the personal scale level, is the unspeakable suffering of the child.
