Are we becoming a fascist nation?

[the anti-liberal]

The 7 conditions (Warning signs)
that foster & fuel fascism are:

1. Instability of capitalist relationships or markets

2. The existence of considerable declassed social elements

3. The stripping of rights and wealth focused upon a specific segment of the population, specifically the middle class and intellectuals within urban areas as this is the group with the means, intelligence and ability to stop fascism if given the opportunity.

4. Discontent among the rural lower middle class (clerks, secretaries, white collar labor). Consistent discontent among the general middle and lower middle classes against the oppressing upper-classes (haves vs have-nots).

5. Hate: Pronounced, perpetuated and accepted public disdain of a specific group defined by race, origin, theology or association.

6. Greed: The motivator of fascism, which is generally associated with land, space or scarce resources in the possession of those being oppressed.
    

7. Organized Propaganda:

a) The creation of social mythology that venerates (creates saints of) one element of society while concurrently vilifying (dehumanizing) another element of the population through misinformation, misdirection and the obscuring of factual matter through removal, destruction or social humiliation, (name-calling, false accusations, belittling and threats).

b) The squelching of public debate not agreeing with the popular agenda via slander, libel, threats, theft, destruction, historical revisionism and social humiliation.  Journalists in particular are terrorized if they attempt to publish stories contrary to the agenda.

Fascism dovetails business & government sectors into a single economic unit, while concurrently increasing in-fighting and distrust between the units fostering advancement towards war.

Fascism promotes chauvinist demagogy, (appealing to the prejudices and emotions of the populace) by fostering selective persecution and accepted public vilification of the target group. It then promotes this a "patriotic", "supportive" or "the party line" and disagreement with such as "anti-government", "anti-faith" or "anti-nation".

All things considered, I say we are well on our way.

BECOMING?

Past tense. Still a light at the end of the tunnel, though.

Amazing how quickly it all happened.

“Declassed social elements”?

[Kartographer]

[the anti-liberal]

“It is very common in a fascist system to have the oppressed referred to as sub-human, animals, terrorists, savages, barbarians, vermin or any other term designed to create justification for the acts of terror and fascism perpetrated on the oppressed. Via dehumanization society can then accept that the oppressed are incapable of thinking or acting in a peaceful manner or taking care of themselves, and thus society is exonerated from culpability in their own minds. Propaganda, not persuasion, logic or law, is the tool of fascism, though at times very difficult to spot. It specifically rides the fact that negative behavior is innate, (born with) rather than a logical behavior in response to oppression. Propaganda also empowers the oppressors with elitism racially, socially, intellectually and/or spiritually.”

They do move fast...the next march might have to be against an armed city.

[Noumenon]

War is coming. Here. Soon.

[Freddd]

I guess that’s why people have been buying guns, ammo and food....they know something is here, and something is coming...

[ViLaLuz]

I like this... where did you find it?

What is Fascism?

[matt1234]

One key characteristic of fascism is the use of (or threat of) violence. If 0bama’s minions start assaulting, smashing and burning on a major scale, we will have reached that threshold. The way things are going, I would not be surprised if this happens. It does not take much to spark major unrest in some urban areas, especially during periods of high unemployment.

[the anti-liberal]

The school children. Recall the black kids beating up the white kid while everyone else cheered?

This is why I've predicted this will be the bloodiest school year on record, thanks to 0.

(For the record, I'm more 'halfrican American' than the marxist moron in the WH. And no, I don't hate half of myself.)

[kindred]

Well, the liberals are fascist as their behavior demonstrates.

[the anti-liberal]

Absolutely. If you recall, they even called the FreedomWorks march last Sunday “anti-government.”

[Logical me]

Amazing how quickly it all happened.

Actually this has been in the planning by the communists for many years. It is just one of their kind, King Obama, being elected and a majority in the Senate and House gave the RATS the chance to execute the plan takeover of America.

[Chickensoup]

This is why racism is such an important tool with the
leftist regime now in power. Anyone they choose to can be called a racist and racists can then become the new sub-human.

This is a quote from the late Norman Thomas, the Socialist Party candidate for President of the U.S. The quote is from a speech he made in 1944.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of “liberalism,” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

“I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party… The Democrat Party has adopted our platform.”

Norman Mattoon Thomas (November 20, 1884 to December 19, 1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.

I was referring to how quickly 0 moved to bring this about after taking the House. But I take your point - it was a long time coming.
