Quote:One common definition of fascism focuses on three groups of ideas:
The Fascist Negations of anti-liberalism, anti-communism and anti-conservatism.
Nationalist, authoritarian goals for the creation of a regulated economic structure to transform social relations within a modern, self-determined culture.
A political aesthetic using romantic symbolism, mass mobilisation, a positive view of violence, promotion of masculinity and youth and charismatic leadership
Democrats - generally social liberals, some market liberals.
Republicans - generally market liberals, some social liberals(on the libertarian end)
Neither is authoritarian on the economy, Reagan de-regulated, as did Clinton, as did Bush, as has Obama.
Symbolism.......mass mobilisation.............. positive view of violence........ promotion of masculinity............... youth and charismatic leadership.......have you seen Robot Romney?
America is as much of a fascist state as I am an avocado.
