Sam talks with Werner Lange, retired educator and pastor, Chair of the Ohio Peace Council and author of Onward Christian Soldiers: the MAGA March toward a Fascist America about the historical and modern day fascist movement. Read his recent piece, "A Lesson for America 90 Years After Hitler's Ascension to Power" in Common Dreams where he writes, "the House Freedom Caucus is the functional equivalent of the NSDAP." Then, we re-share a clip from an interview with Andrea Chalupa from Season 1 in October 2020, due to its continuing relevance: Taking to the Streets Challenges the Dictator's Legitimacy.
