If I'm not mistaken, this is the very definition of fascism. Mussolini would know:
"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." -- Benito Mussolini,
sociopathCan it be denied that fascism, the merger of state and corporate power, exists in the United States? Nope. Not only does fascism exist here, but it completely overshadows everything else. See
this thread for examples of fascism operating even at the level of the common man. Fascism has "trickled down" from the capstone of the sociopathic hierarchy of power and control all the way down to the base of the pyramid. It is now well on its way to becoming full-spectrum fascism. Mussolini would be so proud.
It's the best sociopaths can do. That is the reason they should not be allowed to occupy positions of power and control.
We need to do more than "trust". We have to
exercise our ingenuity and moral standards. We have to put them into action. We not only have to learn to change, we have to actually change.
This is exactly why I have rearranged my life in ways many call "crazy". This is why I have turned from being a pursuer of money to one who shuns money. This is why I deliberately choose to earn below the poverty line. This is why I refuse to be a "good consumer" and instead search for ways to become a better conservationist, a recycler, or a "good producer". This is how I put my actions (not my money) where my mouth is. This is how I fight back.
