I understand your opinion that torture is ok, election fraud is all about recounts, and spying has been going on forever so that's ok too...
but what bothers me is the bolded response, which you've come back at me with numerous times. "If America was Fascists you'd be sent to the Gulag" and stuff like that. I dont see the point you are trying to make.
why do you think 21st century fascism has to parrallel 20th century fascism?
- Fascism - a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
- a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power
"I Am the Decider"
- forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism
See the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York
- regimenting all industry, commerce, etc.,
Not only that, but the Corporate world has it's finger and money in nearly every policy decision made by our government.
- emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism
That's pretty self evident on this board alone.
The bottom line is that over the last century the governemnt, corporate and religious (church) sectors have gotten closer and closer. That's the simplest formula for fascism.
21st century fascism would more accurately be called Corporatism, and that's what america has become.
