A “corporatist” is simply a new term for “fascist”. In Europe these corporatist fascists call themselves, SOCIALISTS.
What Ron Paul is doing is attempting to separate his followers from the conservatives who have long described Obama as a Saul Alinsky Marxist. Fascism is actually worse than socialism because it completely leaves the people out of the equation. In fascism, there is no communal ownership of anything. Everything that is not owned by the state is controlled by the state.
The point is that the Progressives/fascists/corporatists see the promotion of socialistic programs as a means of control of the people. Simply put, they buy the support of the masses by making them dependent on the government for their very existence.
They lower the level of education because a well educated public is more difficult to control. They empower the public sector unions and burden the public with the support and pension demands of the public sector unions.
In the county where I live, the public sector union workers far outnumber the private sector workers. It is this type of unsustainable imbalance that is the goal of the Progressive,corporatist, fascists. In Europe, they call themselves, SOCIALISTS.
I think 0bama was originally a Communist (and may still be), but like the Commies in Russia, China, and elsewhere, he has morphed into a fascist, because even Commies now know that Marxist economics is a joke.
Outstanding post! Thank you...
