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.

What keeps the Democrats from being actual social liberals are their asinine beliefs of censorship.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
