Fascism

I recently saw this poster at a store (Outloud) and it caught my attention.




"Laurence W. Britt wrote about the common signs of fascism in April, 2003, after researching seven fascist regimes: Adolph Hitler's Nazi Germany; Benito Mussolini's Italy; Francisco Franco's Spain; Antonio de Oliveira Salazar's Portugal; George Papadopoulos's Greece; Augusto Pinochet's Chile; Mohamed Suharto's Indonesia." Quoted from here.

... to illustrate the impact of AIDS



"The Gay Men's Chorus posed to illustrate the impact of AIDS. Those dressed in black, with their backs turned, represent those who had died. Today, all their backs would be turned because the obituary list is now 47 names longer than the chorus roster. For each man singing these days, more than one chorus member has died of AIDS. Chronicle file photo, 1993, by Eric Luse"
