What will fascism be wrapped in if/when it comes?

The answer, I believe, is found in the post to which you were responding.

Wrap that tinfoil on a little tighter, Ronnie.

;)

So you don’t consider CAFE standards, for example, to be a fascist measure, in that they are “a radical extension of government control over the economy without wholesale expropriation of the means of production?”

How about recent gasoline price controls in Hawaii and elsewhere?

How about the minimum wage laws? Benito Mussolini called for a minimum wage and a reduction of the work week in 1918.

How about the National Labor Relations Board which lets the Federal government meddle directly in disputes between employees and employers?

How about the Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid systems, intervening in retirement savings and pensions, and in health insurance? “... Mussolini’s Italian
government made membership of a sickness fund compulsory in 1943, and centralized and imposed state control on these funds.”

Wake up and smell the fascism, friend.

FDR was essentially a fascist, and we’re still laboring under the chains he forged. http://www.lewrockwell.com/suprynowicz/suprynowicz22.html
