Re: Take your pick...

Fascism - a. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
b. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
Um - really......Do you live in America or Cuba or Venezuela?

Socialism -1. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
2. The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved.
Hello....China anyone?
That is a far stretch.....

Re: Take your pick...

Quirky, I think our government does resemble a form of fascism, even though it is imposed by a more unbridled democracy than a dictator. Where the majority of citizens can influence the "centralization of authority" with votes, organizations and lobbyists to impose "stringent socioeconomic controls" and oppression of opposition with censorship. There are laws and purposed bills already on the books to do this. They just typically have titles that are the opposite of what they are intended to do, e.g. campaign finance reform, fairness doctrine and the FCC are all used to infringe freedom of speech but typically spun to show they are used to protect it.

So yeah people have the right to vote but most people intend on voting the rights of others away and neither candidate acknowledges natural rights. Our police force has been militarized and used against American citizens in the name of controlling drugs (or medicine depending on your perception).

How many Americans believe we live in a democracy? They may be right considering how much the majority can take from the minority but I think some well known communists said it best:


“Fascism is capitalism in decay”
Vladimir Lenin

"Democracy is the road to socialism."
Karl Marx

“The goal of socialism is communism.”
Vladimir Lenin
