What Is Fascism, Do We Have It Yet?

"Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism
as it is a merge of state and corporate power."
-- Benito Mussolini
(1883-1945), Italian dictator during WW2

“Government price-fixing once started, has alike no justice and no end.
It is an economic folly from which this country has every right to be spared.”
-- Calvin Coolidge
(1873-1933), 30th US President

“Fascism is capitalism in decay”
Vladimir Lenin

The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.
Samual Adams

The efficiency of the truly national leader consists primarily in preventing the division of the attention of a people, and always in concentrating it on a single enemy.
more Adolf Hitler quotes

All propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level, that even the most stupid of those toward whom it is directed will understand it... Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise.

Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death.
