#fascist theocracy

[sher-ee]

Reading the reporting on Justice Alito's flag preferences, this 1986 edition of CNN's Crossfire where Frank Zappa calls out America's path to a fascist theocracy.

Frank Zappa was spot on.

We are in such big trouble. Even Republicans who are uninformed or a victim of propaganda are going to regret what they didn’t pay attention to.

Crossfire 1986 Frank Zappa defines 'Fascist Theocracy'

Frank Zappa: The biggest threat to America is not Communism. It's moving America toward a Fascist Theocracy and everything that happened in the Reagan administration is steering us right down that pipe."

Panel goes bonkers: "You can't really believe this! Give us an example!"

Frank Zappa: "When you have a government that prefers a moral code derived from a certain religion and that moral code turns into legislation to suit one religious point of view. And if that code happens to be very very right wing...." [he's interrupted]

John Lofton: "Every form of civil government is based on some kind of morality, Frank!"

Frank Zappa: "Morality in terms of behavior; not in terms of theology."

The bjp government introduced the ucc bill in Uttarakhand which has made it mandatory for live in couples to register with the government and a copy of the registration will be sent to respective families. It also added the father as a first class legal heir for inheritance of property, encroaching upon the the right of the mother, wife, daughter (the actual victims of patriarchy, who most likely did not have any social right to gain access to financial independence or inheritance from other family members) to accommodate the father, who more than likely than not already has financial freedom and ownership rights over land property. Moving on, they removed the Muslim personal law, which guaranteed the rights of the daughter in a fixed inheritance percentage. Not to mention the whole act is modelled after hindu personal laws and demanding other religions to bend according to it is inherently regressive no matter how progressive the law on paper looks to be. So should I just bang my head against the wall right now and be done with it or watch as the bjp government slowly sets fire to all our lives?
