If you want to whomp him over the head with the American socialist=fascist facts, use this:

"Fascism: A political system in which individual rights may be recognized de jure (though they often are not), but are subjugated to claims of national need or will de facto. In such a system, titular ownership of property may remain in the hands of individuals, while de facto control over property is the exclusive domain of the state. Fascism is generally characterized by extreme authoritarian centralized rule."

Just look at the tobacco companies and Microsoft. Rather than outlaw a harmful product (tobacco), the fascist/socialist state governments basically nationalized the tobacco industry. They can keep running their business, but they have to share major portions of their profits with the government (defacto control has passed to the state).

A similar situation exists with Microsoft. Microsoft did not pay extortionist tribute to the Washington fascist/socialists, so the politicos used "the law" to attack the assets of Microsoft. Once again, the fascist/socialist state governments are in the process of attaching the property of Microsoft. Microsoft can continue to run its own business, but the till will be located in the various state attorneys-general offices. Fascism, pure and simple.

ANTI-TOBACCO = NAZISM: Do you still think we are crazy? - Robert N. Proctor, in his new book "The Nazi War on Cancer" published by Princeton University Press turns a scholarly eye toward the question of science and public health in a fascist context. At a moment in history where we have entered a phase of health hysteria, it is timely for scholars to be doing this sort of examination.

The Original British Medical Journal's Study On Nazi Germany's Anti-Tobacco Campaign - Many Nazi leaders were vocal opponents of smoking. Many North American leaders are vocal opponents of smoking. Hitler was the most adamant against smoking, and so is Bill Clinton. The astonishing similarity of Nazi Germany's anti-tobacco campaign with the US/Canadian one should make us think very hard on where we are going. For lack of moral and political values and scarcity of uncorrupted science, nations tend to perceive social health as physical health.

The same lies. The same rethorics. The same reasons. The same rationale. The same extorsions. Are we becoming the same?

Smoking And Health Promotion In Nazi Germany - At FORCES, we have been accused many times to be out of place when comparing the antismoking propaganda with fascism and nazism. Many people believe that we are exaggerating, and one cannot compare smoking restrictions to the Nazi environment. Perhaps these people should check their history.

Great definition!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like where China (that place idolized by all the 60's liberals from Grace Slick to John and Yoko Lennon) is headed to me.
