This article touches on something that I’ve been thinking about lately…. What do we call what the American Left is trying to take the country to? Mark Levin has called it American Marxism and the American Thinker piece by McCann believes that is accurate. Is it? This morning for the fun of it, I decided to do search on ‘definitions of fascism’ and was struck by both how many there were and the wide range of what people believe can all be covered under the umbrella of fascism. This is just a sampling….
- Orwell called it…. “a form of capitalism that borrows from Socialism just such features as will make it efficient for war purposes... It is a planned system geared to a definite purpose, world-conquest, and not allowing any private interest, either of capitalist or worker, to stand in its way.”
- FDR called it… “ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.”
- Trotsky said that the purpose of fascism was …. “to smash the working class, destroy its organizations, and stifle political liberties when the capitalists find themselves unable to govern and dominate with the help of democratic machinery.”
Given the incredible control that organizations like FB, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, BlackRock etc. have managed to attain and, in many cases, did it by ‘partnering with the guvmint’, I tend to think that what we are seeing has more elements of fascism in it than Marxism…. this is only one part of the bigger picture but it seems like some form of corporate fascism is driving the bus.
I have to agree with you. I may add that their “compassion” has driven and blinded them to it. Fools.
