Derrick Bell, Faces at the Bottom of the Welt (New York: Basic Books, 1992), it Russ BeEant in Old Nazis, the New Right and the Republican Party (Boston: South End Press, 1991) describes other characteristics of facism: the use of violence to Impose views on others and the dehumanizing and scapegoating of "enemies" as subhuman and conspiratorial; a cult of personality around a charasmatic leader or elite whose authoritarian power replaces constitutional government; these leaders' exhortations for the masses to join a heroic mission, including appeals to the working cla cs or farmers; abandonment of working class alliances by ultimately forging an alliance with the elite, and the abandonment of any consistent ideology in the drive for state power.

Randall enumerates other of "socialism's errors": -The treatment of certain unexamined beliefs as if they were an immutable science, a self-induced blindness toward, and fear of, groups whose liberation struggles threaten traditional leadership (notably women and gays), duplicity in terms of the internal line on the one hand and what you tell the people you're organizing on the other, a democratic centralism that retains all of the centralism and little of the democracy, personality cults, new class privilege, cronyism, and much else," 116. 16.
