Do You Know Any Fascists?

Click here: Regarding the economics of Fascism, again, it is the Socialism of State Control. This includes the concept of corporations, which were in Roman times, “creatures of Caesar,” and the public/private partnership, including tax subsidies and government granted monopolies. This differs economically from Communism which is the socialism of state ownership.

Under Communism, you know you own nothing. Under Fascism, your ownership is a pretended ownership; you rent this from the state, in the forms of property taxes and the state controls what you can and can’t do.

Democrats and Republicans both advocate the public/private partnership, they differ on how much control; but with the handout, there are always “strings attached.” This has turned many Americans into “piglets fighting for a place at the slop trough.
