“Fascism is a type of state socialistic government. The Merriam-Webster dictionary definition<\/a> is: \u201ca political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.\u201d Fascism is most often associated with the regimes of Mussolini and Hitler during WWII. The difference between fascism and communism is that in communism, the state owns everything outright; in fascism, a thin veneer of private ownership is maintained while the state exercises absolute control over industry. So the biggest difference between communism and fascism, which are both state socialistic governments, is that communism is complete state ownership, while fascism is complete state control. In economic and political effect, both are remarkably similar, and both oppose true free markets. Both communism and fascism value collectivism over individualism, and see the state as the ultimate expression of good, with the individual only existing to serve the state. Both communism and fascism have given rise to totalitarian police states, where the freedoms of individuals were sacrificed for the good of the state. In both communism and fascism, the state is everything, the individual is nothing. It is interesting to note that though both communism and fascism claim to be ideological enemies and complete opposites, for someone who values individual freedom and free markets, there is really no difference.”\u00a0 <\/o:p><\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0“The president accurately says Americans are “reluctant shareholders” of GM, AIG and Citigroup. But is he?If the Corker-Warner legislation is defeated, as Alexander’s bill was, on an essentially party-line vote, this will be redundant proof that Obama’s professed reluctance is fictitious. If it is, then what is real is what the Democratic left desires, an Obama Doctrine that says the trumpet of state capitalism \u2014 capital increasingly controlled from Capitol Hill and the Treasury Department \u2014 will never sound retreat.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
