FINALLY! Someone GETS IT!
It's called Fascism via Marxism, i.e.: MarxoFascism. I refuse to call it crony capitalism, because that gives credence to the idea that capitalism is in of itself, a crony enterprise. I refuse to accommodate the Left's definitions.
It's Fascism - MarxoFascism to be more precise.
And we are ALREADY THERE.
What we are seeing with the Ruling Class push back against the 'counter-revolution' to their 'revolution' - is the consolidation of total power.

I have for all my years here at FR been warning that the wealthy/ruling class is out to destroy the American middle class and it's uppity Constitution. This should come as no surprise since the wealthy/ruling classes always tries destroy the middle class once the middle class gains enough wealth power to threaten the ruling class. Post WW2 saw the American middle class gain tremendous power and wealth so it was easy to predict the inevitable war on us. A Fascist system will prevent a rise of a middle class and permanently cement the power of the ruling elites. This is a well traveled road we are on and I am surprised so few of us can see where it leads. I blame public schools, or I should say I credit public schools (post 1970) for doing an excellent job of blinding John Q Public to the dangers he/she faces.
I think it was very clever to use Marxism to get to Fascism, very clever indeed, that I did not foresee.
