I am tired of hearing about socialism for the rich. A policy that benefits corporate profits and insider connections over the population is not socialism for the rich it is fascism. As Mussolini stated in the 1930s fascism is simply the merger of Corporate and Government power. The Paulson Plan and subsequent plans that bail out wreckless companies is a fascist policy not a socialist policy.
Elements of fascism have existed in this country through out the 20th century. Calvin Coolidge famously said “the business of America is business.” He was not formenting a fascist coup. Why would he even try? The US was already promoting policies that benefited connected families and businesses. But for those who are able to look past the cave the fascist undertones are clear.
People credit Goebells with the mastery of propaganda but this is simply not true. Edward Bernays is the father of propaganda techniques. He is a naturalized American citizen of Austrian descent and nephew of Sigmund Freud. As a side note you may now realize why a discredited psychoanalyst is still in the popular conscious. Goebells used Bernay’s Crystallizing Public Opinion as the basis for his campaign against the Jews and every other group in Germany. NAZI Germany realized the utility of American techniques.
Goebells is not the only NAZI leader to use American ideas. Hitler drew many of his regressive policies against the Jews straight from the South’s and thus America’s degradation of African Americans. American segregation laws were replicated in spirit and probably in words. Again US political life was used as an example for a regressive totalitarian state. In an ironic twist, the Soviet Union sought to emulate progressive American philosophy from Dewey and Ford.
Americans never learn about the proposed coup versus FDR in 1933. Naomi Klein has written about Prescott Bush’s involvement in the pot. He is the grandfather and father of two United States Presidents. Is it any wonder that we’ve moved closer to a police state under this dynasty?
