The 40 men arc the cream of U.S.
Ai. Force fighter pilots, but the
fn, mq suits they wear and the jets
they fly display the red star of the
Soviet Union
The hammer and sickle flag
adorns the walls of their ready,
rooms, dorms, hallways and lob-bies.
And Soviet Life magazines
and other Russian publications are
found throughout the buildings
that house them on this giant base.
What's it all about?
The pilots are members of the
64th and r5th squadrons. They fly
Squadrons — the Air Force's two
'Russian squadrons" — and they
arc the key elements of the latest
method of keeping U S. flying
forces ready for war.

hero, ether U.S. pilots fly daily in
гтк-с- к engagements against the
' Soviet" fighters and the ground
defenses supporting them.
Playing the parts of Soviet
fighter pilots are the men of the
64th and 65th squadrons, they fly
the Northrop F-- 5 — a plane that
resembles the Soviet MIG-1- 2, and
the resemblance is heightened by
the use of camouflage paint and
bold red identification numbers
identical to those worn by Soviet
planes.
U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine
Corps pilots are brought here from
bases throughout the nation and
overseas to sharpen their skills in
"combat" against the "Russians".

ration Red Flag calls it "the closest
thing to actual warfare wo can get"
To enhance the realistic quality
of the missions flown here,
mockups of Communist nations'
airfields, industrial complexes, ra-ilheads,
and surface-to-ai- r missile
sites are scattered across the 7.5--milhon-a- cre
Nellis Air Force Base
operational range north of Las
Vegas
There's a pass through one of
the desert mountains that resemb-les
Europe's Fulda Gap, a poten-tial
attack area on the East-We- st
German border should war ever
break out between the Soviet and
Western Powers.
Recently, during a visit here by
NATO military leaders, a West
German Air Force general viewing
photos of simulated Communist
airstrips picked up one of the pic-tures
and declared:
"There must be a mistake. This
picture was not taken here. It is a
photo of Altenburg, an East Ger-man
military base!"
But the photo was, indeed, that
of an airstrip on the desert, a dead
ringer for the air base at Altenburg.
Operation Red Flag is an out-growth
of the U.S. Air Force's poor
showing in Vietnam, where for eve-ry
two North Vietnamese MIGs
shot down in air-to-a- ir combat, one
U.S. plane was knocked out of the
sky. In Korea the kill ratio was 15
North Korean planes for every U.S.

tacle of the American Civil Liberties
Union defending in court the "right" of
the U.S. Nazi Party to "free speech".
Rome's Gestapo Chief Herbert Kap-ple- r
is spirited to safety in West Germany
amidst a surge of public sympathy. He
was serving life imprisonment for war
crimes in Italy. Over 60 nazi elite SS
Guard reunions have been held in the
FRG since last winter. Л new spate of
Adolph Hitler books and movies is born.
There are many more less publicized
incidents — but what we are witnessing is
a resurgence of neo-na- zi activity which
arises out of the socio-econom- ic crisis in
Western capitalist nations.
In spite of its multiple outward forms
and covers, fascism is anti-communi- st,
anti-lab- or and racist. It is an extension of
monopoly-capitalis- m, its most brutal
form.
Hand in hand with neo-na- zi re-surgence
goes the more "polite" debate
about civil rights. During the I930s,
when Communists and other democratic
forces in Canada were battling the fas-cists
and exposing their dangerous mes-sage,
the daily press talked about "the
Communist menace". The police pro-tected
nazi meetings and arrested
anti-fascist- s. Efforts to enact group libel laws
against fascist anti-Semit- ic attacks were
criticized by the Toronto Globe in an
editorial "Why be Touchy?" which called
such laws "not the British way, mischiev-ous
and undemocratic". The Globe
editorial said "if the Fascists have not a
worthwhile idea in baiting the Jews it will
die anyway ...''

It didn't die, but tens of millions of
people the world over did.
Substitute Pakistanis for Jews; or
Caribbean immigrants in Britain for
Jews to update the fascist message. Sub-stitute
the Toronto Star's recent editorial
attack on the "right and left menace in
Britain" for the Globe's 1930's rationale
to lake the heat off fascism and distribute
it "evenly".
Consider the connection between at-tacks
on non-whi- te immigrants in
Canada and the National Front's call for
the forced expulsion of non-whit- e im-migrants
from Britain — both defended
because "they are taking our jobs", in
conditions of mass unemployment.
Wonder about the fact that nazi
groups like the Western Guard here, the
Ku Klux Klan in the U.S., the National
Front in the UK, the thousands-stron- g
nazi organizations in FRG are permitted
to preach their hatred and ask yourself
why, 32 years after World War 2, this is
still allowed, even defended as "free-dom
of speech".
History clearly shows that in a period
of crisis the capitalist system requires
scape-goat- s. It could be Jews, it could be
Japanese immigrants, Italians, Pakis-tanis
or Jamaicans. Added to this is one
constant ingredient — anti-communis- m
which is the major ideological weapon of
fascism. Whether subtley hidden in Star
editorials or openly brandished in vio-lent
attacks, its nature is the same.
Democratic Canadians, the labor
movement in particular, should be clear
on this issue. The struggle for labors
rights, an extension of democratic rights
and for world peace is a struggle against
fascist ideology. Anti-communis- m, ra-cism,
"big labor" notions and chipping
away at our democratic gains all aid
capitalism and fits right bower, fascism.
