The face of fascism

Awfully busy today, but I wanted to point this out ...

Lisa English at Ruminate This makes a very moving point, with the help of Picasso's Guernica:

A reproduction of this painting can be found at the United Nations in New York. It was installed there as a reminder. We should never forget. It is now draped and hidden from view, apparently at the request of the United States.


Forgetting is an important component of totalitarianism.
