You need to study Italian fascism more than German fascism. In democratic capitalism, the people (supposedly) own the government and the corporations according to democratic capitalistic propaganda. In socialism/communism, the people (supposedly) own the government which owns the corporations according to socialist/communist propaganda. But in fascism (in the Italian Mussolini sense, predating Nazi Germany by more than a decade in the 1920s) the corporations own the government and the people (look up the quote to this effect by Mussolini himself in the Encyclopedia Italia). The three systems form a very fascinating trio of three triangles in the end. Draw three triangles. Label one triangle democratic capitalism. Label one triangle communism (or its euphemism, socialism). Label one triangle fascism (in the Italian sense). On each triangle label each vertex: the people, government, and corporations. For each ownership direction that I state above, draw an arrow from the appropriate owner vertex to the appropriate owned vertex. This will be one of the early stages in your journey to deprogram yourself from the propaganda that you constantly receive.

In this Italian sense of fascism, the Cheney administration’s (with Bush as a mere figurehead) America is truly fascist. Instead of one man one vote, we have one dollar one vote in a government that is entirely controlled by corporations, enacting laws to assure direct corporate control of the people and indirect corporate control of the people via a government controlled by corporations. What is funny (in a vomit-causing sick laughter-in-disgust that sane commonfolk living in Nazi Germany of the 1930s must have felt) is that the died-in-the-wool flag-waving average Republican doesn’t see how this great democracy is being dismantled one stage at a time.

What is personally horrifying to me is that I am ethnically German, whose ancestors immigrated from German states in the 19th century. Until the Cheney Administration, I always wondered what the heck happened in Nazi Germany and why commonfolk didn’t fix the big problem in their government. I always wondered what it was like to be a common person in Nazi Germany. I wonder this, because as an ethnic German I wonder if a German is born with Nazi German tendencies built into the DNA. Sadly, my casual wondering over the years has been horrifyingly answered since 2000.

May God have mercy on us.
