Isn't it a fact that America is already a Fascist State?

Corporations own our government officials, sometimes/often they are CEO's of corporations, who do the bidding of other Corporations.

Con Bots, look up Fascism before you answer.

    Yes, pretty much. It's fascism disguised as democracy. As Mussolini said: Fascism is corporatism.

    Thanks to modern technology and modern methods of psychology, it is no longer necessary to have Brown Shirts or Gestapo-like police forces terrorizing the people. It is no longer necessary to have concentration camps or one political party. It's all done within the system. The people police themselves for the most part.

    "Con Bots, look up Fascism before you answer."

    Having read a few important books on the subject, I strongly suggest you take your own advice before you ever ask this again.

    America might indeed be, and some conservatives have thought this.. But if it is, it's not for anything to do with corporations and supposed "ownership".

    I see third rate Marxist propaganda from the thirties is still in vogue here.

    Edit: actually, Mussolini said "Fascism spells government". He was an opponent of free market liberalism. All the important fascists came from socialist/syndicalist backgrounds, with some having works recommended by Lenin, like Giovanni Gentile. Corporatism is NOT "rule by corporations", that's an illiterate notion.

    Destroyer Sailor's link/definition is pretty good.

    Edit: so, you do any research on Fascism today?

    The corporations are in League with the government, but don't blame the corporations, they are doing what they need to for survival. So yes, they have thrown in with the government, OR they have packed up and shipped out.

    I don't know why people think of Fascism as being Extreme conservatism, it is NOT. The only difference between Fascism and Socialism is the ownership remains in Private hands with Fascism, but either way, Control is in the Government's hands.

    the DEMONcrats baby. the "affordable" care act is pure Fascism. The coverage is coming from private insurance companies, but he government is calling the shots from top to bottom,

    It seems most, as usual have missed your comparisons to a few years back.

    I have lived in a fascist country and the US is worrying just how its heading that way.

    Amazingly 911, premeditated slaughter of 2000+ innocent Americans by their own government, leads us nicely into the....

    The protector of the obediant namely the "Patriot Act".

    Creation of the new amalgamated Homeland Security,(please).

    Big Brother phone and internet tapping, implementation of Martial Law (Boston bombing sham) without so much of a mention on our controlled media news networks and not a whisper on Capital Hill.

    Femma camps and immigration checkpoints.

    Most of which Franco (Spain) a despot fascist didnt have the balls to attempt to try. What else do we not know about yet. I have my suspicions that the MK Ultra project is alive and well, just look at the looney gunmen and schools or even Mylie Cyrus and Britney, jeeez.

    Labotomised people relax, its not you its me imagining all this.

    Corporatism is not about business corporations today.

    What it proposed was a third way between capitalism and socialism, every aspect of the economy would be represented by "corporations" which were like trade unions but only with the employers and employees in the same organization supposedly co-operating.

    President Garfield openly declared that whoever controls the supply of currency would control the business and activities of all the people. After only four months in office, President Garfield was shot at a railroad station on July 2, 1881.

    Yes, very much so, in more ways than most people realize.

    People picture nazi Germany or fascist Italy in their head when thinking of fascism, instead of thinking of the details of fascism.

    Fascism is just one form of Marxist Socialism. (Look up yellow Socialism and Red Socialism)

    Every time the Government bails out any from of business and ends up owning a chunk of it, we take another giant step toward tyranny.
