Experts, education, science have no value in America's new fascist regime. [View all]

In fascist regimes the educated are considered a serious threat to the regime,
the educated are painted as a societal evil and must be destroyed.

(In contrast, in a democracy, education is revered because a democracy cannot
exist without an educated populace. )

Truth, reality, right and wrong must be eradicated in a fascist regime.

Hitler killed the educated elite first thing when he invaded Poland.

Stalin in Russia did a great purge, including the intellectuals, killed or sent to camps.

China also did a great purge, calling it the cultural revolution.
The educated were killed or sent to concentration camps for the rest of their lives doing hard labor.

Two new neighbors where I live are an older Chinese couple, who fled China recently.

The husband is an educated, very smart journalist who wrote less than complementary
articles about the Chinese government. Basically they left China with the clothes on their
back, left all their valuables behind.

If he returns to China he will be arrested or worse.

His father was one of the university professors arrested during the great purge
and sent to labor camps for the rest of his life. I will spare you the grisly details.
