Working man, blue-collar fascism.




"In your face," storm trooper fascism.

4. +1 "Walmart Greeters of Facism" - excellent metaphor.

"The greatest thing by far is to be a master of metaphor. It is the one thing that cannot be learned from others; it is also a sign of genius, since a good metaphor implies an eye for resemblance."

-Aristotle, De Poetica, 322 B.C.
