The face of fascism?

Question

In your opinion, is the fascism in existence today economic, religious or political?

I didn't necessarily say the US is fascist. But it is interesting how you immediately connect the two issues, don't you think so?

Answer 1

In the US, it's mostly, if not entirely political. The president is taking more and more power, and has given himself the power to direct the entire government in case of an emergency which he declares himself!

see: "Bush makes a power grab" http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55824

There is still freedom of religion, although state and church are more mixed than formerly, I don't believe this is a hallmark of fascism.

As I understand the fascism of the WWII era, the government controlled the means of production, and we don't have this in the US.

Answer 2

Authentic fascism isn't a legitimate presence in US politics. There are authoritarian elements of our two major political parties, but they're not fascist. However, fascism still plays a role in European politics. It's creepy.

*Edit: No, you didn't specify American politics, but you're on a board that's primarily used by Americans. And since most of us are American, we're going to answer the question from the perspective of US politics. But notice that I did include a snippet about European politics.

Answer 3

It's exist-ential.
Only some will survive the assault on humanity, of the elitist population/gene culling.
Money will get you out.
Religious choices will work in either direction.
Political implementations (china) will poison huge numbers.

Answer 4

Absolutely.

Answer 5

More political and economic. You are hired today because of who you know.

Answer 6

I don't agree with the premise of your question. Fascism as practiced by Mussolini and Hitler does not exist today. There is not facism in the US. That is where I am from.

Answer 7

The green crescent.

Answer 8

A little bit of both im afraid
