ARE YOU A FASCIST?

You might scoff at the question, “Are you a fascist?” But you should give yourself more credit. Mussolini defines “fascist” quite simply: “Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.”
So, after all, maybe you are a fascist. Here, let me explain. There are countless examples of fascism in everyday American life.
For instance when you send your kids to government school for their state-approved common core “education” sometimes they will have a list of marginally nutritious foods to choose from, like chicken fingers and french fries and pasteurized milk. Private companies raise these foods, make these foods, and deliver these foods to your child so that they can sit in hard chairs and stare at blackboards invented in the 11th century (and thanks to government still in use today) and learn the US government’s version of history (which is often in direct opposition to factual record).

In this way, private companies work with the government to not only help fatten up the kids at school but also take their cut of money that has been extorted (taxed) from the public all while giving them a good down-home style indoctrination.
Out on the streets, no, it’s not just police keeping the streets “safe” from people going five miles over the speed limit or not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. Companies like Redflex and American Traffic Solutions are there day-in and day-out to serve your ticketing needs.
