3. Here are three things you shouldn't do when campaigning to stop fascism: 1. Kiss a foreign fascist leader on the head. 2. Deputize the national guard to fight crime in cities. 3. Dare the fascist leader to "join me" in new legislation against an oppressed minority.

15. Those of us trying to understand capitalism in the age of billionaires need to pay attention to what besides profit itself is inspiring accumulation and shaping investments. Fantasies and imagined futures are shaping billion-dollar flows of money.
