“No one would give much credence to charges of “fascism” (where are the jackboots and natty uniforms?) — but “crony capitalism” resonates.”

100% agree.

The word fascism has been tossed around too lightly for too long(same with the word socialism). People have heard it being used by one side against another in the world of political discourse.

But now, crony capitalism, corporatism, whatever now has a face. It's face is the bailouts, GE, Solyndra, ect ect.

The hurdle, which can be overcome, is to help average folks understand the difference between crony capitalism and free market capitalism
