-Caveat Lector- I believe my graduate schooling will serve me well to make a point here and that is that FASCISM may not be bad, depending upon your political bent. I also feel as if people have this anti-fascist bent simply because we have been inundated with an anti-fascist, PRO-Zionist press in America. American is PRO-Zionist, at least politically speaking, as Bush's war efforts against Arabs, Jewish enemies, have aptly proven. While I am not a political scientist by training...I believe that fascism is mainly a dictator-driven government with a small elite as its back-up. The public is pretty much left alone except for Marxists, whom Fascists attempt to dispel out of their countries ASAP. Put simply, fascism is a political system which has been used to thwart Marxist-communistic governments takeovers worldwide. Fascism as an antidote to Marxism worked in this manner as a provisional government for a few countries during the 20th century. Fascism may not be successful as a long-term political system because it is so extreme and does not allow for wide-scale freedoms because it is tyrannical. Marxism, on the other hand, is about HUGE government...which owns outright the country's land, real estate, and people. Everyone and everything works for the good of the state. All businesses are considered state-owned, run. No one had freedom and fine arts die inside of this system...witness the USSR during Stalin rule and the Cold War. Only "group arts" survive...like symphonies, ballets, hockey and gymnastics. That is about it...individual arts die...no celebrities are allowed...NO rock music is allowed...nobody looks forward to the future because everything revolves around the present, no planning allowed and competition is discouraged, disallowed. Fascism is not that extreme really in terms of private enterprise. Examples of fascist governments include Nazi Germany, WWII Italy (Mussolini), Cuba (Castro), and Iraq (Sadam Hussein). Each of these countries has been concerned with keeping Jews and their Marxism (aka Communism), Freudianism (aka as homosexual movements), and Protocols of Zionism (aka "new age" cults) OUT of their countries. I believe that all of these dictatorships evolved as a result of these countries wanting to keep the Jewish system out of their daily lives and political workings. The Boat People from Cuba who fled to Miami are probably Jewish confections, results of Jewish-new age cult eugenics work in Cuba that Castro does not wish to maintain.
Fascism could be an effect way and means to keep communism and its attend problems out of a country at least provisionally...or temporarily until the communist threat is controlled. A dictatorship could be very helpful to keep the heavy handed, horrors of communism (often supported by new age cults) under control and maintained. The argument could be made that the U.S. could benefit from a fascist dictatorship in this regard if new age cults were threatening to totally take over this country. I, for one, believe that this threat is not unreal now. Democracy has been slipping away from this country for at least the past 15 years and it is time the American public faced the facts. E.
