Is it fascism yet?

1. Since, at least, 1988...

Friendly Fascism. Cute, huh???

:grr:

[Journeyman]

4. Cuter when Bertram Gross coined the phrase 25 years ago. . .

Friendly Fascism: The New Face of Power in America, by Bertram Gross, South End Press (1980).

[DenverDem]

2. Two blatantly stolen elections in a row indicate fascism to me.

Along with governance by corporations, corporate rights taking precedence over human rights, war as a tool for corporate global expansionism, war as a tool for croniest profiteering and redistribution of wealth from the middle class to the economic elite, demonization of dissent, et al ad nauseum.

[Scrooge]

3. Two words

Patriot Act.

[fugue]

5. Definitely democracy's last gasp

I still can't believe they all voted on it without reading it. I would've said, "No, I will not vote for something before I know exactly what I'm voting for!"

[Okieprogie]

6. Definition?

How about providing a working definition?

7. Talked to my friend out of town this weekend

about how the balance of our country is way off now and how unhealthy it is to have one side in control of everything. Very scarey!

8. especially since one side has fascist tendencies

imagine if it were reversed--universal health care,budget surpluses,good will from other countries,Kyoto protocol......but alas no....death,destruction and sadness
