Since fascism is a merger of industry and government, this process happens under both systems of government, either the state owns the corporations or the corporations own the state, there is no disconnect there..\r\n\r\nEver since the beginning of empire building government has existed to enforce social heirarchies, and this reemerged in the Soviet Union's so-called communist government also, in addition to nuclear accidents from having to compete with the U.S. in nuclear weapons manufacture..\r\n\r\nSocialists are just clowning around for the time being pretending to offer an alternative, just another Ponzi scheme for beaurocrats looking to exploit human needs for food, shelter, etc...\r\n\r\nThe only real option for equality and ecological sanity is decentralized regional tribal governance structures similar to indigenous North Americans prior to the arrival of Columbus, modern day anarcho-primitivists are trying to accomplish this goal without much luck..\r\n\r\nAfter the non-renewable resources run out and overpopulation becomes impossible to ignore, climate change floods coastal cities and industrialized food systems collapse, then maybe the pro-industrialist socialists will wake to reality, til then, keep smoking the pipe and dreaming of fantasyland!!","author":"BOTH are forms of fascism!!","parent_id":229443,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2009-08-11 16:57:46","modified":"2009-08-11 16:57:46","fileurl":""}]}
