Compared to the more than 75 million to make it. Plus 28 million for her, not to mention most of the people that made it don't want their names attached to it. On the face of it. And it goes down hill from there. no real surpise though. -

Seven Million in ticket sales. A complete flop. No surprise here. Mostly blocks of tickets were sold on top of that. Nobody cares anyway. -

The five stages of Fascism
John Johnston replied to John Johnston's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Reading is fundamental. -
Initial Creation of Fascist Movements: This stage involves the emergence of fascist movements, often in response to social unrest, economic instability, or perceived threats to national identity. These movements typically capitalize on public discontent and utilize charismatic leadership to attract followers. Rooting as Political Parties: In this stage, fascist movements transition into organized political parties capable of influencing the political landscape. This often occurs when the existing political system is weak or unable to address the needs of the populace, allowing fascist parties to gain traction and legitimacy. Acquisition of Power: Here, fascist parties seek to gain control of the government, often through elections, alliances with conservative factions, or even violent means. This stage is marked by strategic maneuvering to consolidate power and eliminate opposition. Exercise of Power: Once in power, fascist regimes implement their ideologies through legislation, propaganda, and state control of various aspects of society. This stage often involves the suppression of dissent, militarization of society, and the promotion of nationalistic and xenophobic sentiments. Radicalization or Entropy: In the final stage, fascist regimes may either become more radical in their policies, leading to increased repression and conflict, or they may face decline and fragmentation due to internal contradictions, loss of public support, or external pressures. 2 These stages illustrate the complex and dynamic nature of fascism as it evolves from grassroots movements to authoritarian regimes, highlighting the socio-political conditions that facilitate its rise and sustain its power. Understanding these stages can provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of fascism and its impact on society.
