1937. Hitler ascendant, lots of Nazi sympathy across the US. Freedom on the run.

Coming to our own times, I see the future that liberty promises always as a beacon; I do not see any light in the future promised by authoritarianism.

But authoritarianism in our times, in those we see looming ahead, is irreligious and materialistic, despite its pretenses and rhetoric, and comes down to a brutal rule of violence over people who are prevented from seeing and knowing what is going on, and who are forced to submit to leadership and give unquestioning obedience to it.
