The Liberal Corporate State Has Fascistic Symptoms

There is a major lesson to be learned in the U.S. today that is not being taught in our schools. Not in elementary classes nor high schools. And certainly not in those of so-called higher learning.

It has to do with the true nature of fascism. In this regard, a study of Benito Mussolini’s Italy is essential. Starting in the 1920s. Mussolini was a Socialist who advocated what we know as the corporate state.

The Obama government has now taken over General Motors. GMAC and Chrysler. It also controls banks to a greater extent than they have ever been, dictating salaries, and thus hiring policy.

The Obama government already controls the giant entities, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, whose collapse really were one of the bases of our financial meltdown.

Then you have the takeover of AIG, which I believe was a completely unnecessary step for several reasons I have discussed before, none of which have been adequately disclosed by our present administration.

Banking industry bailouts and resultant government influence are yet another example of the government’s undue meddling in the underpinnings of our economy.

The attempt to nationalize the entire health care industry, about one sixth of the economy, is yet another flagrant example of this parallel picture of what happened at another time.

Fascism and state corporatism are one and the same. They are facets of socialism. Read up on Benito Mussolini.

I am not saying the present U. S. Government is fascist. But I do say, we must continually, closely study history to be alert to the danger.
