The Tea Party: "Grassroots" Fascism

During the Great Depression, corporate elites sought to overthrow FDR and install a dictator in his place. They approached honored Major General Smedley Butler and asked him to lead their far-right fringe group, The American Liberty League. Butler was to lead an army of 500,000 men to intimidate the government and create a fascist regime.

Today, corporate elites, specifically the Koch brothers and Dick Army, orchestrated pseudo-grass roots Tea Party protests to intimidate Democrats and the Obama administration from pursuing bold progressive policies. And the corporate media loves the candy. Now, with the "free" market Citizens United Supreme Court decision, a dictator is no longer needed. Money is power in capitalism. And the corporations are more powerful than ever with weakened regulations, the Bush tax cuts, and corporate loopholes. Corporations are the $tate.

I'm a Mathematics grad student; I'm as poor as they cum. I've read & thought lots on Economics & Philosophy. I've studied Marxist, Keynesian, Monetarist, and Austrian perspectives. I find the Austrian and Monetarist arguments the most convincing. In addition, these views unify beautifully with my Ethical values. (In particular I am speaking of Kant, and Aristotle). Finally, I've never heard of the ppl in the vid, nor do I really care who they are. I was just glad to find others with a like mind.

@Thyrdeye3000 - By like minded you mean easily fooled by their capitalist masters? The Tea Party is not grassroots, it's a corporate created illusion.

I think their power comes from the fact that they are already coddled by the government. a corporation wouldn't exist in a government free market. The liability would always lie with the owner of the business.

Corporations are government entities, they aren't capitalist, they just function well with capitalism

[Vote3rdParty]

@darris321 - Actually, I would go farther that. Private property doesn't exist without the government. But corporate power comes from the mere fact they have money in a free market political political system. The government is owned by the private sector because of lack of restrictions on private donations.

Sure, corporations are a government entitlement. Private property is a government entitlement as well. Without government laws, what's to stop me from taking your shit?

I was previously of the impression that Ron Paul began the Tea Party, and that it was then taken over by the Fox News crowd once Sarah Palin got involved.

This documentary has filled in some gaps in my knowledge, as well as corrected some false impressions that I previously held.

Live it up fascist nation! 

[Vote3rdParty]

@PurpleHoneyBear - Yeah, I thought Ron Paul started it too. But Ron Paul held the a Tea Party rally after the Rick Santelli made his Tea Party rant. Here's the whole documentary "Billionaires Tea Party" if you want to know more. /watch?v=GO_WC0FINmA

Thanks for commenting on my videos! It's nice getting friendly comments once in a while. I mostly just get right-wingers hating. You're the man! ;)

@dougfromeagan Most modern socialists believe this shit you know...

To them Capitalism = Survival of The Fittest = Dictatorship = Fascism.

I used to be kind of a true socialist, but not even I come to this conclusion when I look at it from a "purely" (subjective) logical perspective.

I think the main problem here is that a lot of fascists/alternative believers are flying under the libertarian flag as well.

@Vote3rdParty I'm sorry, but even though I don't really like the Tea Party movement, you wouldn't spot fascism if Hitler came knocking on your door.

You think Individual Liberty/Capitalism equals Fascism and that is completely wrong.

Fascism / Corporativism requires the goverment coming to choose which businesses to grow and which businesses to destroy.

[dougfromeagan]

Tea Party Fascism? LOL  So I guess Ben Franklin and ALL the other founding fathers were Fascists? LOL Free Market FASCISM? LOL Get a grip guy!! :)

@Vote3rdParty

It's also interesting to consider that other movements opposing FDR's New Deal manifested in different ways that the business plot. An odd, eery example is "The Fellowship". I'd take a look at them if you want to be a bit spooked..
