American Fascists, Chris Hedges on The Hour (CBC)

By the way, what he exclaims as fascism is indeed not FASCISM but much more of some THEOCRACY. Fascism is a term for War Corporatism and the integration of military and state, which would only make since with Bush if you consider liberal media's polarizing of society and the military.

How could a society that rejects the military as a respectable institution but for individuals without oppurtunity, how could someone say that such a society is at all militaristic or even further FASCIST? Lame.

I don't think many Americans understand just close they came to becoming a theocracy, much like the regimes the west is fighting in the middle east.

You can see residual traces in movements like, the "teabag" movement. People who haven't a clue as how their country works but will oppose any kind of perceived secular governance.

Gigantic mis-conception to impy the Bush admin. was somehow theocratic. Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith, Perle... all of these men essentially ran policy in the White House but none were veterans nor were they particularly religious. They sold their ideas using religious analogies and anecdotes sometimes, but that was only because Bush was a moron.

The only man with military experience actually opposed the neo-cons aggressive and un-democratic foreign and domestic policy. Colin Powell.

enough talk, you must have it...or not.
fascism ??? that's my thing !

Rarely do you see someone say he/she a fascist, you have balls I must say.

Well you get to a point where you realise what you are and what you believe. If you truly believe something you will gladly pursue it, even if you have to cop flak.

I got to the point where I stopped caring what other thought anymore. Thanks for the support. Even if you differ in opinion.

Cheers mate

Whats wrong with fascism??? We're ready 4 it.

Fascists used socialist language to win over the working classes in Italy, Germany and elsewhere, the same way a cult uses Christian language to win over Christians. That doesn't make fascism socialist, just as it doesn't make Christianity a cult.

Every single national socialist were all marxist at one point but the quit when they realized it wasn't working so the converted to National Socialism that way they can incorporate a national identity into their thinking.

Chris Hedges is a wise man. This is an excellent book. I recommend it frequently.
