15. Or to quote Franklin "We must hang together or we shall hang separately."

Fascism is a zero sum monster at heart. There is no place for individual innovation, art, or leisure.
Everything belongs to those at the top; the leader and their enablers.
And even those at the top are fighting amongst each other to determine who will be the next leader, and who will fall out of favor and fall back into the mass of powerless drones.
But most Fascists are too egotistically stupid (or venal) to realize there's just as large a target on the backs of them and their families as there is on those who are Enemies of the State.
