9 months ago@ajsadauskas @australianpolitics a Bill of Rights is a good thing until a govt activates/legislates emergency powers (War, pleague, or some manufactured political imperative) and it all goes to shit. Bills of Rights and Geneva Conventions get trampled on by fascist regime all the time, i.e. Russia in Ukraine, Turkey in Siria, China in Tibet, etc, and it’s deemed perfectly legal, etc… there’s got to be a better way to secure ‘rights’ for a society though I’m stumped as to what it might be.
@ajsadauskas @australianpolitics yes of course, provided society has not been divided by fascist prop-agit in which case a country hang in balance between democracy and autocracy (fascism). Whichever way you look at it, the only reliable weapon against fascism is unionism. A strong unionised workforce is too much power for fascists to take on and the reason why right-wing politics do not like unions. But even this is no guarantee given what history tells us about the fall out from Bolshevik revolutions.
