Properties of fascism

BidenPresident said:
a sense of overwhelming crisis beyond the reach of any traditional solutions;

the primacy of the group, toward which one has duties superior to every right, whether individual or universal, and the subordination of the individual

the belief that one’s group is a victim, a sentiment that justifies any action, without legal or moral limits, against its enemies, both internal and external;

dread of the group’s decline under the corrosive effects of individualistic liberalism, class conflict, and alien influences;

the need for closer integration of a purer community, by consent if possible, or by exclusionary violence if necessary;

the need for authority by natural leaders (always male), culminating in a national chief who alone is capable of incarnating the group’s destiny;

the superiority of the leader’s instincts over abstract and universal reason;

the beauty of violence and the efficacy of will, when they are devoted to the group’s success;

the right of the chosen people to dominate others without restraint from any kind of human or divine law, right being decided by the sole criterion of the group’s prowess within a Darwinian struggle.

You just described Joe Biden and the Democratic Party of Lying Jackasses dumbass. :laugh:

fascism
noun
fas·​cism | \ ˈfa-ˌshi-zəm also ˈfa-ˌsi- \

1: often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition;

2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control
early instances of army fascism and brutality

Sure sounds like the Biden Presidency to me. ;)

F-15's And what a moronic statement to support his gun grabbing. As if our troops will slaughter millions of it's own citizens if Biden acts like a Fascist dictator trying to grab more power.

corporatists dont like to accurately define fascism because they can never speak ill of a corporation as if corporations are all about your freedom and protecting your rights, and would never seek gain through abusing access to a government and its leaders.

they wouldn't DOOOOOOOOO that.

you people are infantile.

fascists want to keep fascisming.

Redefinition fallacies (fascism<->corporation, corporation<->rights, government<->corporation).

Illiteracy: Use of noun as verb. Failure to capitalize the beginning of sentences. Incorrect paragraph structure.

Logic errors: False authority fallacy. Insult fallacy.

Which is to enslave a corporation, not to merge with it.

IMO, absorb would be more precise than merge. It's not a co equal partnership.

The Corps are absorbed by the State. While the corps do have power, the politicians/gov can quickly "remove" the CEOs if necessary, ... and replace them.

We get into an interesting question when you use the word "enslave" with corporations. Slavery is when a person is owned by others. If a corporation is a person, and is owned by others, that is slavery. By this Republican reasoning, stockholders have no rights of ownership over corporations, because that is slavery.

I do not believe in corporate personhood myself. Or more accurately corporate personhood is a legal fiction created by the government, and has absolutely no rights beyond that which lawmakers give it. The real persons in the corporation have rights, but the corporation has no Constitutional rights on its own.

If you are a real Constitutional Originalist, you agree with me. For the first 100 years of the Constitution, there were no private corporations. The idea that corporations had Constitutional rights would have been alien to anyone during the first 100 years of the Constitution.

Limited liability corporations have been very useful to corporations, but we need to stop pretending they have Constitutional rights that real persons do not.

Do you have any examples of a corporation in charge of the gov't?

yes. large arms companies getting the government to declare war to use their products.

the military industrial complex.

and if you dont think that's real you're just not paying attention and are a fascist in denial.

or insurance companies, pushing laws you must buy insurance.

obamacare was a gift to the insurance industry, and neocons call it "SOCIALISM". when it's a actually a corporate gift.

the paltry shitty new plans on the shitty website were a sideshow.

someone buys them, for the most part.

the citizen united case should be reversed.

so should the kelo decision.

these were horrific decisions guaranteeing fascism.
 
this implanted corporate/state dichotomy is the main mindfuck of our time.

dems can never see anything wrong with what the government does.

republicans and libertarians tend to be unable to criticize corporations.

they collude to fuck us over, meanwhile your average joe can only criticize half the problem.

You don't need to get angry. All I ask for is specific evidence which I have yet to see from you.

Corporations don't think or make decisions. The people that run them Do. It is a cop out to generically blame a paper entity.

Re: Auto insurance, ... the right to drive is a privilege. Requiring insurance to drive is a practical idea.

I agree, Obamacare websites were a massive fraudulent handout to Dem political cronies, no doubt.

yes. corporations can be just as evil as a state, tell your libertarian friends.

It is the State's responsibility to prevent them from being "evil", to prevent criminal activity, con artists, and ponzi schemes. That is a State failure not a corporate failure.

In the case of Hunter's laptop, we know it was the State that forced Facebook to interfere with the 2020 election.

The is communism, not fascism. A corporation that has been absorbed has been merge into the government. The corporation no longer exists. That market is now owned by the government. That is communism, another form of socialism.

Fascism, however, is a stepping stone on the way to communism .
