Ezra Pound turns out have had many more ties with the American far right terrorists than I thought. He was a real inspiration to violent militants.

The only thing that protected us was the FDR majority. God bless the traitor to his class.

Wow. I knew about Pound's fascist sympathies, but not about his white nationalist ones. Though I'm not at all surprised.

Pound was an ass. A brilliant poet, but an ass.

A former English professor of mine knew Ezra Pound & visited him in the asylum where he was incarcerated for "insanity," a defense dummied up by pals & admirers so he wouldn't be executed for abetting the Axis during WWII. My prof said his quarters were palatial...

... & he lived like a king, not an inmate, constantly entertaining visitors, having women brought to him, gourmet chefs made his meals, etc. But he wasn't crazy, he was just a fascist w/rich & powerful friends...

must be a reason why in italy we have an alt-right party called "Casa Pound" (Pound House). but at least we have laws that consider fascism a crime. thing that you don't have in US (and I wonder why). I think the big difference is that we experienced fascism and you didn't.

tbh a brief look at George Lincoln Rockwell's life shows you the same thing, the boundaries were completely porous.
