"almost every single item on the standard check-list of fascist characteristics can be found in [Herbert Croly's] _The Promise of American Life_. The need to 'mobilize' 'society' like an army? Check! Call for spiritual rebirth? Check! Need for 'great' revolutionary leaders? Check! Reliance on manufactured, unifying, national 'myths'? Check! Contempt for parliamentary democracy? Check! Non-Marxist Socialism? Check! Nationalism? Check! A spiritual calling for military expansion? Check! The need to make politics into a religion? Hostility to individualism? Check! Check! Check!" --- Jonah Goldberg _Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning_ pg98

Except that computer people use 2 as a base raised to multiples of powers of 10, instead of 10 raised to multiples of powers of 3 because powers of 2 are handier for them, but they also want to stay somewhat close to the values of 10 most folks are used to.
