Mussolini’s Corporate State

The merger of corporations and state government was an invention of Mussolini. When he brought it to Italy, he was advocating the creation of a single party state. He called it the Fascist State.

We now have it, too, thanks to the Supreme Court’s ruling. Actually, thanks to George W. Bush and the Republican Party, we can now finally say we are finally living in a fascist United States of America.

And to think they were worried that it would be Obama and the Democrats who would be bringing us that little gift. They don’t even know what the word “fascist” means, not surprisingly.

But I also blame Obama for what’s happened. He didn’t fight the Republicans in the legislature, hasn’t gone after the Bush administration to seek any kind of punishment, and hasn’t fought hard enough to create the kind of change he promised (like green energy jobs, bringing home the troops, closure of Gitmo, etc.).

The Bush administration and the Republicans in power left us a giant, flaming mess. And I really hate sounding as if I’m upset because it hasn’t been fixed. I’m actually really happy with the Democrats who’ve been pushing hard for the progressives (like Kucinich, Boxer, Wexler, Feingold, etc etc). But I’m really upset that they also keep buckling to any kind negative media press, refusing to fight back and stand up for their party’s constituents.

We need an FDR Democrat in office – not a Clinton Democrat. We need Obama to say “I *hope* Wall Street bankers, Big Oil, Big Pharma, and Bush Criminals are afraid of me – Instead of saying “I’m willing to put the past behind us and look the other way.
