Ah, but power IS truth.  Those in power define what is true.  They define 
all concepts.  One is left with a discourse molded by the ideals and 
dreams and fears of the center.  To remove the power would be to remove 
the truth.  But there will always be a power, a truth to fill the 
vacuum.  So, if you remove power from the truth you can still have a 
Fascism that claims both, because there will always be an alternate truth 
with an alternate power base fighting for control of the center.
