Signs Of Fascism
Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottoes, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.


Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.


Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.


Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.


Rampant Sexism
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.


Controlled Mass Media
Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.


Obsession with National Security
Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.


Religion and Government are Intertwined
Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.


Corporate Power is Protected
The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.


Labor Power is Suppressed
Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed .


Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.


Obsession with Crime and Punishment
Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.


Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.


Fraudulent Elections
Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

His poll numbers have been intense for the time of the election simply by fact no person quite knew something approximately him. He made insane can provide and stored his marketing campaign slogan imprecise adequate that human beings supported him without quite understanding something approximately him. mutually as socialists do no longer perceive him as a card wearing member, he does help wealth redistribution it is the main considerable theory in the back of socialism it is why conservatives classify him that way. despite if he's a socialist, he can not quite base all of his judgements as president on socialist ideals. That being stated, he's broken maximum can provide he made in his marketing campaign and presidency. He promised these days that he'd concentration on jobs this 12 months and he's executed little or no in direction of that objective. He promised that the discussions on wellness care could be held in open sessions, that did no longer happen. He promised we would be out of the conflict. upload that to the incontrovertible fact that he isn't protecting the borders it is endangering the electorate of this u . s . and that he in no way seems to care what the electorate of this u . s . think of. it is why his poll numbers are so low and he won't be re-elected.

I think we are wrong to view Islamic Fundamentalism as politically based nationalism. It is not. It is first and foremost religious and that is why it is so much more to be feared.

We are not fighting Iraqis, Saudis, Iranians, Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese...as the radical Islamists in their country are in many cases in opposition to their own governments. No we are potentially fighting what none of us wants to admit...a war of religion.

They do in a perverse way hate us for our freedom...our freedom of religion. They consider us infidels whether we are American, Canadian, German, French...they don't care...we are all Christians, Jews, Buddists, Hindus, Amish, etc., etc. and their hatred is directed at all of us.

Look around the world...study the history. Religious conflict incited by radical Islam is nothing new....

...the Mahdi has been around for a very long time......
