WHAT IS FASCISM or WELCOME TO AMERIKA

“Welcome to Ameríka?”Fascism is hurled as an invective. But it is a valid economic description, which I will define below. Socialism is where the government controls the economy, or at least deludes itself into believing it can. It passes laws, regulations, tax codes, tariffs, import and export restrictions. It keeps tabs on productivity and consumption (as best it can), and produces the infamous five year plans for the economy. Since the state can never make error, those who wish to remain working for the state must never admit the fallacy of state control over the economy. As a result, reports are always generated extolling the “success” in economic output annually. Those five year plans being replace by other five year plans ... also annually.Fascism, a form of socialism, is where government acknowledges the limitations of government’s ability to control the economy. The solution is to anoint a few winning businesses, who will then run the economy for the government. The government in turn controls the few businesses. This created mega-corporations. Those in charge then subcontract portions of government contracts to other businesses on a favoritism basis. This still fails to make goods produced reflect true costs, and worse government may set price caps on goods. This is where National Socialism fits as a term. Fascism, socialism. It is all the same. Just with fascism, a few businessmen run the economy, and the government runs those businessmen. The United States purports to be a capitalist nation economically. Yet, the amount of regulations and burdens imposed on the business community and the workers (producers) in this nation is staggering! About half of the productivity in this country is siphoned off into the maw of government. In turn, government produces both costs and restrictions and regulations that add another 20% to the cost of production and consumption. This percentage climbs a little bit higher every year. This regulation is supplemented with the favoring of a few mega-corporations that control the economy. Kellogg, Brown and Root, The Carlyle Group, Goldman Sacks, Chase, J.P. Morgan, Bechtel Corp., etc. The small businessman is driven from the marketplace by rule and taxes, implemented by people who could not successfully run their own business if they were subsidized. These entrepreneurs are ultimately forced to work for others. Typically the only stable companies are those on the receiving end of government contracts. Getting these contracts is their business. Subcontracting out the work to a favored few is routine. So in effect, they act as middlemen, getting the contracted product produced at market value, while skimming the excess of the contract.Government restricts by setting rules so only the few can receive the government largess. The few oblige by making government look efficient in fulfilling its stated commitments, and giving kickbacks (frequently in nepotic form) to the rulers in government.Hence the good old USA is a fascist nation. I have refrained from stating how evil is this control. The rest of my messages can convey this.
