Fascism: What It Really Is

Mark and save. I think I need to have cards printed with this, so deliberately ignorant has out nation become on this topic. By design.

"Compassionate conservatism" was just a Frank Luntz-inspired propaganda term designed to disguise the fundamentally ruthless greed and power lust that lies behind contemporary American right-wing ideas, which are largely fascist.

I think the neocons started to sweat when people began identifying them correctly as fascists, so the Frank Luntz bunch decided to destroy the word "fascism." Make it mean everything so it means nothing. Simple. So we got nonsense terms like "Islamofascism" and "liberal fascism" -- anything to distract people from the reality of fascism, which is marked by nationalism, militarism, sexism, racism, repression of labor, worship of corporate power, controlled mass media, contempt for intellectuals and education, religiosity used for political manipulation, rampant cronyism and corruption, fraudulent elections, obsession with national security and the destruction of civil liberties. They can’t have people recognizing the suspects in that criminal lineup.
