Destination Fascism

By Dan Hagen

Turns out there's a common road map for duping low-information types.

It’s this specific 14-point plan: corporate power worshipped; labor power suppressed; nationalism; disdain for human rights; using scapegoats to direct hatred; avid, bootlicking militarism; rampant sexism; a controlled, dishonest mass media; panicked obsession with national security; religiosity used for political manipulation; contempt for intellectuals, education and the arts; obsession with crime and punishment; rampant cronyism and corruption and fraudulent elections.

Those are the elements common to ALL fascist regimes.

Turn on Fox News, and chances are you'll hear one or more of them being cheered for and snarled about at any given moment.
