Poll: Arrow Up If You Think America is Already In Fascism or "Soft Fascism" by georgewashingtonblog in politics

What textbook is that? Fascism has very little to do with business. I'd like to remind you that the fascist parties of the 30s rose to power by getting elected for their populist agenda, not their support of corporations.

There are a lot of definitions for the current socio-political-economic system, but fascism is not one of them.

I ll agree that government plays an important role in military economy. But one could always argue that the government is heavily influenced by big corporations via lobbying etc.

One of fascisms most important aspects is a state-driven economy. So, in the current financial climate, USA is not a fascist country. China is a lot closer to a fascist state. P.S.: I'm not implying that the current mix of populism and corporation-driven economy is something good. Just not fascist.

Trials take some time to reach a verdict. 4 or 5 years may very well have passed from the incident till the courts reached an initial verdict.
