「我想提醒在座各位，在到達終極解決方法（final solution）之前，必然有第一步，第二步，甚至第三步，到最後一步；沒有一蹴即就，事情總是一步，一步，一步發生。」
.
1995 年諾貝爾文學獎得主 Toni Morrison 在 Howard University 的畢業禮上，發表了「社會走向法西斯的十個步驟」（Ten Steps to Fascism）⋯⋯
.
01，樹立假想敵；既可聚焦，亦能轉移視線。
Construct an internal enemy, as both focus and diversion.
.
02，縱容污衊詆毀、孤立、妖魔化敵人；令口誅筆伐，人身攻擊，變得合理。
Isolate and demonize that enemy by unleashing and protecting the utterance of overt and coded name-calling and verbal abuse. Employ ad hominem attacks as legitimate charges against that enemy.
.
03，招攬培植烏合之眾；讓他們從散佈謠言、仇恨的過程中，得到利益、權力和成就。
Enlist and create sources and distributors of information who are willing to reinforce the demonizing process because it is profitable, because it grants power and because it works.
.
04，隔絕一切藝術表達形式；凡挑戰政權造神運動，抑或妨礙妖魔化敵人的一切人和事，都要被監控、貶抑、流放。
Palisade all art forms; monitor, discredit or expel those that challenge or destabilize processes of demonization and deification.
.
05，認同敵人的，以及敵人的任何象徵，都要禁止。
Subvert and malign all representatives of and sympathizers with this constructed enemy.
.
06，從敵人陣營招攬內應，令肅清的過程更乾淨利落。
Solicit, from among the enemy, collaborators who agree with and can sanitize the dispossession process.
.
07，透過學院和大眾媒體，將敵人描繪成病態；例如借科研和傳說，不斷強調種族優劣，令病態論述更顯得自然。
Pathologize the enemy in scholarly and popular mediums; recycle, for example, scientific racism and the myths of racial superiority in order to naturalize the pathology.
.
08，將敵人變成罪犯；為囚禁敵人，尤其是敵陣的男性及年青人，作準備，留資源，找理由。
Criminalize the enemy. Then prepare, budget for and rationalize the building of holding arenas for the enemy — especially its males and absolutely its children.
.
09，以丁點的快慰、誘惑、幾分鐘的片段、幾行句話、無意義的成就、權力和影響力的假象、少許樂趣、少許時髦和無關痛癢的後果，通過浮誇但空洞的娛樂，獎勵不加思索、無情的群眾。
Reward mindlessness and apathy with monumentalized entertainments and with little pleasures, tiny seductions, a few minutes on television, a few lines in the press, a little pseudo-success, the illusion of power and influence, a little fun, a little style, a little consequence.
.
10，最後，無所不用其極維持肅殺的常態。
Maintain, at all costs, silence.
