till, it’s an unlikely word. When most people hear the word "fascism" they may think of the racism and anti-Semitism of Mussolini and Hitler. It is true that the use of force and the scapegoating of fringe groups are part of every fascism. But there was also an economic dimension of fascism, known in Europe during the 1920s and '30s as "corporatism," which was an essential ingredient of Mussolini’s and Hitler’s tyrannies. So-called corporatism was adopted in Italy and Germany during the 1930s and was held up as a model by quite a few intellectuals and policy makers in the United States and Europe.
yeah funny how a party lead by a former communist ( Mussolini) and a Socialist ( Hitler) with Laws that say the Individual has no right to private property, but can use it so long as the state is cool with it is called a "Corporatist"
Oh you mean because rich buisnessmen financed them its all about big buisness
well that explains everything
As I mentioned a few weeks ago (in “The Corporation Will Eat Your Soul”), Fortune magazine ran a cover story on Mussolini in 1934, praising his fascism for its ability to break worker unions, disempower workers and transfer huge sums of money to those who controlled the money rather than those who earned it.
yeah i guess all those members of the Politburo during stalin's time earned their money....
Oh wait, they didn't
darn.
Well they had labor unions... oh wait, no they didn't either
In Sinclair Lewis's 1935 novel "It Can't Happen Here," a conservative southern politician is helped to the presidency by a nationally syndicated radio talk show host. The politician - Buzz Windrip - runs his campaign on family values, the flag, and patriotism. Windrip and the talk show host portray advocates of traditional American democracy — those concerned with individual rights and freedoms — as anti-American. That was 69 years ago.
you mean Like Huey Long who wanted to force everyone to an income of 100,000 dollars a year had alies in the radio buisness
oh wait.. haha thats different.. cause Lewis was another socialist to
Mussolini, who helped create modern fascism, viewed liberal ideas as the enemy. "The Fascist conception of life," he wrote, "stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with the State. It is opposed to classical liberalism [which] denied the State in the name of the individual; Fascism reasserts the rights of the State as expressing the real essence of the individual." (In 1932 Mussolini wrote, with the help of Giovanni Gentile, an entry for the Italian Encyclopedia on the definition of fascism. You can read the whole entry at http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/mussolini-fascism.html)
yeah like all those civil rights laws.. errr
Like those laws on censorship... errr
Oh wait you mean that every government restricts the individuals rights
democrats and republicans and any san non anarchist believes the individual has to sublimate to the state.
and the whole social contract theory
oh well... more proof that people who want to make bush out to be hitler aren't you know... thinking
