Because calling Bush a fascist does not challenge capitalism or imperialism, it merely a) Gives support to the DP and thereby supports imperialism b) Serves to obscure the repressive power and action of bourgeois democracy _at its best_. So it's politically not too bright to throw "fascist" around in u.s. politics. Carrol ^^^^^ CB: a) Calling the Bush administration fascistic is a direct attack on the most dangerous current expression of imperialism. Calling that giving support to the DP is contorted thinking , and an expression of sectarian left obsessions about the DP. b) Sounding the alarm about a bourgeois government moving in a fascist direction is more important than exposing the repression of bourgeois democracy at its best. It's not too "bright" ,as in not diligent and vigilant in opposing racism, but it is technically politically correct and the wisest course to point out that the wars on Iraq are fascist, and the domestic policy of the Bush administration continues the nation's drift in a fascist direction.
