Before I can make my argument that we are moving to a Fascist type of government, we need to redefine the misunderstanding of Fascism being right wing form of government. I am not going to go into a detailed break down, but if you look at the tenets of Fascism, it is Socialism without internationalism like Marxism is. It is control of production thru government ownership and controls, much like the takeover of GM, AIG, and others. It is control of the political spectrum, much like it has happened in Congress, and it is control outside of the scope of laws by bypassing lawmakers in favor of bureaucratic agencies, much like the Obama administration announced they were going to do around cap and trade and carbon output management thru the EPA, as well as focus from an SEC perspective of carbon obligations.
I subscribe to the view of Fascism in being a modified type of socialism, much like Zeev Sternhell. Our government has shown, over the last year, that they believe that government ideals are more important than those of the individuals, and that free markets will no longer exist. Over the last year, they have nationalized the largest auto maker, even removing the CEO on the order of the POTUS. That’s a first in American history. They are in the process of nationalizing an additional 13% in health care, have taken over college loan programs, have strong control over the Financial Services industries (complete with control of AIG), and are letting institutions that are controlled by leftists run amock.
After all, the name of the Nazi party was “The National Socialists”.
The latest mandate, which has not received much plan in the mainstream media, is the “forced favoritism” of unionized companies over free market companies for government contracts. This is a huge mandate that stinks of corruption and paybacks, yet the mainstream media does not care. This could be the beginning of having to “show your card”, NAZI style.
It is going take more than just a shovel to undo the major damage done to our democracy and our free market by this administration. It’s going to take decades to just disassemble the new bureaucracy, the new mandates, and the incredible deficits.
It is now that we have to make sure that we take back Congress by getting rid of those fascists/socialists in Congress and replace them with people that believe in free markets, in our constitution, in limited government, and the strong will of the American people.
