The "Can We Spot It" section is interesting. When I read it, it definitely reminds me of someone. But when my friend, a supporter of that someone, reads it, they're not. And in fact, they're reminded of the other team.

Not bad (considering the source), but this bit -

> Fascism came to power in Germany, Italy, and Japan at a time of social and economic unrest.

- really timeskips and glosses over a lot of causal factors. The biggest reason why America's post-war economic boom was so good for America's working classes was that WWII had taught America's ruling classes just how horrible the consequences could be, if the lot of the working classes got bad enough. And the Soviet Union was quite obviously trying to spread Communist Revolution - "Workers of the Work, Unite!" - to the rest of the world.
