America is not yet fully Fascist, but it is headed down the one way road to it.
__________________________________
*FASCISM as accurately defined by Sheldon Richman in the The Concise Encyclopedia Of Economics, Liberty Fund:
As an economic system, fascism is socialism with a capitalist veneer. The word derives from fasces, the Roman symbol of collectivism and power: a tied bundle of rods with a protruding ax. In its day (the 1920s and 1930s), fascism was seen as the happy medium between boom-and-bust-prone liberal capitalism, with its alleged class conflict, wasteful competition, and profit-oriented egoism, and revolutionary Marxism, with its violent and socially divisive persecution of the bourgeoisie. Fascism substituted the particularity of nationalism and racialism—“blood and soil”—for the internationalism of both classical liberalism and Marxism.
Where socialism sought totalitarian control of a society’s economic processes through direct state operation of the means of production, fascism sought that control indirectly, through domination of nominally private owners. Where socialism nationalized property explicitly, fascism did so implicitly, by requiring owners to use their property in the “national interest”—that is, as the autocratic authority conceived it. (Nevertheless, a few industries were operated by the state.) Where socialism abolished all market relations outright, fascism left the appearance of market relations while planning all economic activities. Where socialism abolished money and prices, fascism controlled the monetary system and set all prices and wages politically. In doing all this, fascism denatured the marketplace. Entrepreneurship was abolished. State ministries, rather than consumers, determined what was produced and under what conditions.
…
Fascism embodied corporatism, in which political representation was based on trade and industry rather than on geography. In this, fascism revealed its roots in syndicalism, a form of socialism originating on the left. The government cartelized firms of the same industry, with representatives of labor and management serving on myriad local, regional, and national boards—subject always to the final authority of the dictator’s economic plan. Corporatism was intended to avert unsettling divisions within the nation, such as lockouts and union strikes. The price of such forced “harmony” was the loss of the ability to bargain and move about freely.
–
In 1934 Hitler was asked in an interview why he had not yet socialized industry, he replied that it wasn’t necessary as he had already socialized the people. Food for thought there.
The main difference between Marxist and Fascist economics is that fascist systems control consumption rather than production. The “market” reorients itself to produce what the state wants to buy with public funds. Instead of the state decreeing that X number of tanks will be produced, it simply says, “the state wishes to buy X number of tanks.” For the consumer, the end result is the same: no butter because everybody’s making guns.
Not surprised. The difference between Hitler and the Communists was the political class in Germany thought they could control Hitler.
But isn’t Hillary campaigning on the idea that we need to get the money out of politics?
It would seem she is campaigning to get it out of politics and into her and Bill’s pockets.
