A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism







































































If you agree, take it as an admission that we in fact do live in a FASCIST society, if not, what do you feel is inaccurate about this definition?

We have conditions, in some ways, approximating those, however we are not forced to swear allegiance to the Republican party at gunpoint, work in a coal mine if that is our predestined job, etc. America has more lenient freedom of speech and expression laws than many more liberal nations than ourselves.

The application of nationalism and racism in foreign and domestic policy could be somewhat supported, however when investigating "American social justice" the real factor to be considered is the profit motive, not race agendas or cheavinistic nationalism. You saw how quick our governments were to sell out to Nafta and Cafta.

The real America that is promoted is the corporate hegemony. America as a national identity merely exists as a high-profile, multifaceted diplomat, broker, and executive for the corporate business interests that essentially move us along.
