Written by FDR-admirer Stuart Chase, the book focuses on America once it has dispensed with free enterprise entirely. Chase wrote that while he could call this new society “communist, state capitalist, or fascist,“ he preferred the more ambiguous ”Political System X.”
But who is Stuart Chase?
According to historical records, Chase was an American economist and MIT-trained engineer whose writings covered topics running the gamut of semantics to the economy. His mindset was said to have been shaped by Fabian socialism and he was an open admirer of the planned economy of the former Soviet Union. Chase’s early political career advocated birth control and socialism, to name a few.
Often credited with being the originator of the term “New Deal,” a glimpse at a closing quote from his book by the same name just might reveal this author’s mindset: “Why should Russians have all the fun remaking a world?”
Beck mapped out “Political System X’s” main characteristics:
A strong centralized government
An executive arm growing at the expense of the legislative and judicial arm
Control of banking, credit and security exchanges by the government
Underwriting of employment through armaments or by public works
Underwriting of Social Security by the government Underwriting of food, housing and medical care by the government
Use of deficit spending to finance underwritings
Abandonment of gold in lieu of managed currency
Government control over trade, natural resources, transportation, agricultural production, organized labor unions, and youth corps-enlistments, to name a few
A youth and people dedicated to the ideology of government authorities
Heavy taxation of estates and incomes of the wealthy
State control over communications and propaganda
Chase wrote that if executed correctly, the ship could not be veered off its course once en route.
More at link... videos, etc.
"If executed correctly," i.e. gun prohibition.
And yet, Beck supports Romney...
Go figure.

By: Stuart Chase
In 1942, Stuart Chase, in his book "The Road We Are Traveling" spelled out the system of planning the Fabians had in mind.
1. Strong, centralized government.
2. Powerful Executive at the expense of Congress and the Judicial.
3. Government controlled banking, credit and securities exchange.
4. Government control over employment.
5. Unemployment insurance, old age pensions.
6. Universal medical care, food and housing programs.
7. Access to unlimited government borrowing.
8. A government managed monetary system.
9. Government control over all foreign trade.
10. Government control over natural energy sources, transportation and agricultural production.
11. Government regulation of labor.
12. Youth camps devoted to health discipline, community service and ideological teaching consistent with those of the authorities.
13. Heavy progressive taxation and hidden taxes on nations wealth.
The Fabian Socialist Revolution began in earnest in 1933 with the imposition of the Welfare State and has been steadily progressing since.
Road metaphors are all too common. Pretty much unavoidable.
But I see Glenn's Stuart Chase and raise him John T. Flynn.
Are we too far down the road to turn back? It's bad enough the squatter has trashed the Constitution but now we have SCOTUS touting it as old and outdated. Congress has been rendured useless. The citizens are in full blown gimme mode and our rights are being rapidly taken away by both sides.
