Fascism in the United States

Over the past few years, I've been saying the US is suffering from a soft form of fascism. Corporations and Government are intertwined to a point that the people no longer have a voice in their government. Mussolini defined fascism as such:
Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.
This in itself would qualify the US government as a fascist state. But let's take a look at other Mussolini quotes:
Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace.
Check.
Fascism denies, in democracy, the absur[d] conventional untruth of political equality dressed out in the garb of collective irresponsibility, and the myth of "happiness" and indefinite progress
Check.



Check.

What if Ron Paul Was President

Curse You, Dr. Paul

Posted on LewRockwell.com:

Writes Christopher Branco:
Curse you, Dr. Paul! Curse you for spreading truth in a world of lies! Curse you for teaching me fiscal responsibility! Curse you for helping me understand property rights and teaching me about economics! Curse you for teaching me the importance of constitutional values and a non-interventionist foreign policy! Curse you for showing me no matter how many times we hear the word “change” from bureaucrats, we are always left with the same choices! Curse you, sir!
Before you came into my life I believed in the welfare/warfare state. I believed the government had my best interest at heart. I believed in the military might and righteous fight of the U.S. of A. I believed in the bogeymen of the world and how they wanted to hurt my family and me because America is “the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world.” I believed Austrian Economics was something pertaining to a landlocked country near Germany. I believed in the almighty dollar. But most of all, I believed government knew what was best for me, my family, and friends. I was never afraid because the government would protect me in any crisis.
Now, because of you, I have learned the truth. You have caused the scales to fall from my eyes and I am afraid. Because of you and your ilk, such people as Ludwig von Mises, F.A. Hayek, and Murray Rothbard, I now understand libertarian political and social theory. Because of places such as Mises.org and LewRockwell.com, I have a better understanding of critical social, economic and environmental issues. I understand the principles of individual liberty, constitutional government, sound money and free markets. Because of you, I have had the opportunity to take courses from the fine people at Mises Academy such as David Gordon, Thomas Woods, Thomas DiLorenzo and Robert Murphy and have learned about classical liberalism, libertarian political theory, and the Austrian School of economics. I have learned about such topics as the Austrian Business Cycle Theory, the Federal Reserve, Anti-trust laws, regulations, free trade, and what a fiat money system represents. Without you I would not have cared about any of these topics. I would not have heard any of these names or had the chance to read the fine work published by these individuals. Because of all this, I am afraid.

I am afraid because I now find myself at a crossroads in my life. Do I take the easy way out and continue to believe the lies the government tells in the name of protecting me? Do I continue to believe they can right any wrong, regulate any activity, and continue to tax me and assault my natural rights in the name of safety? Or do I choose the hard road, the path of “never relaxing in search for truth,” to quote Mises?
Curse you, Dr. Paul! Curse you for making me face my fears! Curse you for making me understand it is the hard road I must choose if I am ever to be truly free.

Quote - Martin Luther King Jr.

"I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. [...] Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

Looks like a market economy has really devastated Shanghai. Those poor capitalists.

Quote - MLK

“I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today — my own government.”

LewRockwell.com's Angela Keaton made the following observation about the holiday yesterday: 'Today marked the federal holiday where white liberals congratulate themselves for recognizing the most basic human decency. Granted, judging by MSNBC’s nightly line up, that could be any day ending in “y.”'
