Reply #56: This is the real nightmare

[davidgmills]

"Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is the merger of corporate and governmental power." Benito Mussolini

The fascist's dream: a government of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations.

Election fraud (corporate performed) is just the tip of the iceberg.

I am like you. I never worried about Republicans becoming global warmongers, torturers, or pervasively incarcerating people without charges or lawyers.

But corporate rights are almost always opposite individual rights. Upholding individual rights almost always curbs corporate power. Every day, more and more individual rights are being swept aside by the advance of corporate rights.

Mom-and-pop capitalism and corporatism are not one and the same. I believe our founding fathers had a vison of the former not the latter.
