Fascism can’t survive without a government big enough to force it upon us all.
The nature of Fascism is best described as Corporatism. (*)
Corporate 'force' is regularly used against the community irregardless of government awareness or regulation. Sometimes it's applied with government sanction.
Corporate prices are generally fixed - as in pharmaceuticals, food prices, small appliances including electronics, and the garbage we're exposed to in the form of advertising. No government in history has so promulgated its policies and interests upon a civilian population as has American based mega-corporations.
The American government is supported and guided by these corporate interests. Specifically there are three branches of this unelected government;
the military-industrial complex, the intelligence community and our financial cartel. It remains a subject of considerable debate as to which of these branches of unelected government are most dangerous and least considerate of the American public. It is a proven fact that the combination of these three is dangerous aggressive and disinterested in international or domestic law.
It isn't Fascism that can't survive without government in America, it's the other way around. The Federal government as it is known today cannot survive in its present form without this corporate influence and direction. Thus the office of the President of the United States is a middle management position only. True decisions are made by those who "pull his strings" as well as implemented according to the orders he receives. This situation has been apparent since the mid 1960's.
It has been said that if a man is going crazy he should move to Washington, DC where it will not be noticed.
The rest of the self-servicing uninformed public lives elsewhere. Christians, who ought to know better, are so heavenly minded they are of no earthly value.
that's me, hollering from the choir loft...
(*) Benito Mussolini uttered this definition early in his administration in pre-WWII Italy. It remains true today especially in twenty-first century America.
