Due to the ascendancy of tRump, I have been introduced to Paxton's Anatomy of Fascism and am reading through it now. Paxton provides this note concerning the origin of the term "national socialism"
Praxton, The Anatomy of Fascism, Page 55.
I'm sure his failure as a cattle rancher had something to do with that damn liberal fedral gubment.
I was caught, red handed, with TS/SCI eMail - ASK ME ANYTHING....
Yep, it happened to me.
I don't work with classified material, but since I work for an organization that does, I get all the training, all the bulletins and am audited from time to time. Everything I do at work - including all eMail going to/from my work eMail address - is logged, recorded and may be reviewed. Hopefully not by a congressional lynch mob.
So, what happened?
When Snowden's revelations were breaking news, my spouse eMailed me a link from the Guardian which I naively clicked on and opened. Yep, there is was: TS/SCI intel right there on my work computer, infecting my eMail. I had just received a DISCO alert warning me that this could happen and that the information was (and, btw, still is) classified and cannot be viewed / stored on our general unclassified network!
This, of course, caused severe cognitive dissonance for the classified compliance professionals. They ended up issuing a special exception allowing us, in just this one case, to delete the TS/SCI information without turning ourselves in to the FBI. Whooo, that was close! Thank goodness, otherwise I'd be wearing orange overalls.
The fact is that this information is still TS/SCI. if Hillary has a link to one of Snowden's leaked power point slides in her inbox she is IN VIOLATION!!!
MY concerns? No, the concerns...
.... of the vast majority of Amercan voters. Even atheiests poll higher than socialists. There are fewer people who would vote for a socialist than for an atheist...

The United States isn't a socialist country and neither is bernie's much beloved Denmark

Of course no one will be concerned about Denmark during the election. They will be concerned about Venezuela. Unlike Denmark's leadership, Venezuela's leaders actually call themselves democratic socialists. Bernie will have to answer for it.
Me, Scared?
LOL, This isn't about me.... it's about winning an election. So what if bernie's a socialist ? Well, the american public is more likely to elect an athiest than a socialist!

I am proud to have her as my Senator - and to take the opportunity to brag that she stopped by my workplace today to give an address !
General opinion at work: She's a real firecracker!

Climate change ? ISIS is attacking Paris in order to secure a water supply?
This doesn't seem to make much sense. Except as a lame attempt to link a problem that he is weak on to a solution he is strong on - even if it's a non sequitur.

Posting in the lounge because it's funny and because it's about carson and I just can't take him serriously .
RE: Mussolini-style corporatism
When Mussolini spoke of "corporatism" what he was referring to is a moderate form of guild socialism or syndicalism. Mussolini was claiming that fascism was in actuality the realization of the goals and ideals of guild socialism / syndicalism. He meant nothing that resembles our modern commercial corporations.
