Seeing doubles

Time to start think about the editorial cartoon. Symbols can easily be incorporated, but what message will we be attempting to depict through their usage? Dr. Seuss procliams Yertle (and Hitler) as facist dictators.
So let's look at fascism. Meriam-Webster dictionary describes it as;
1.: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2 : a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control Fascism means that you don't have you own ideas; there are no individuals, there is one. Nazi's were told not to form cliques, or groups of friends among themselves. They belonged only to Germany, and were to keep the same ideals and values, the same goals.
They were all alike.
Turtles pretty much look alike...
Though that wasn't a key point for Yertle the Turtle,
Could it be ours?
