La prolŽtarisation croissante de l'homme d'au jourd hui et le dŽveloppement croissant des masses sont deux aspects d'un m�me processus historique. Le fascisme voudrait organiser les masses rŽcemment prolŽtarisŽe sans toucher au regime de la propriŽtŽ, que ces masses tendent cependant a` supprimer. Il croit de se tirer d'affaire en permettant aux masses, non de faire valoir leurs droits, mais de s'exprimer. The growing proletarianization of modern man and the increasing formation of masses are two aspects of the same process. Fascism attempts to organise the newly created proletarian masses without affecting the property structure which the masses strive to eliminate. Fascism sees its salvation in giving these masses not their right, but instead a chance to express themselves. expressionism/P.D.-Reuters/W.B./03/1935-39 Peter McDiarmid-Reuters, photograph, detail with adobe brush filter, dimensions variable.
