(25,026 posts)I see little call for marriage between business and government save from the freedom loving "centrist" promising plenty of public/private partnerships, all the "stakeholders" at the table, flag pin wearing, too big to fail empowering, God Bless the Troops saying, and all the "free trade" one can shake a stick at that are the non-fascist.
Where is the militancy and hyper nationalism?
What is it that you are trying to express when you make a statement like this? When you say fascist it makes no connection to reality, according to my perception. What does the word mean to you and why are you specifically electing to use it in this context? I guess I mean for what effect?
Is it blanket for authoritarian to you? Why do you not perceive that those on the flip aren't at least equally put out? In what situations?
I feel you are throwing the word around and I don't think that is your honest intent.
