MANIFESTO OF THE HUMANITIES OPPOSITION WORLD LEAGUE

MANIFESTO OF THE HUMANITIES OPPOSITION WORLD LEAGUE

On Authoritarianism

I am the daughter of a family persecuted by Stalin and interred in concentration camps by Hitler. But most Americans know nothing of these things and do not heed the warning signs of authoritarianism all around them. First, it lies and erodes freedom, and then - quite suddenly - starts to arrest the opposition: intellectuals, minorities, disabled people, the press. Just by way of saying, fight now while you can.
