the salient point to all propaganda is that when they do it you hear about it, when we do it you don't hear much if any thing about it, or they are vilified first so it's OK to kill them. it works the same in all countries.
The arts of power and it's minions are the same in all countries and in all ages. It marks it's victim; denounces it; and excites the public odium and the public hatred, to conceal it's own abuses and encroachments. ( Henry Clay, March 14, 1834 )
Not so easily does a people liberate itself from it's social past. Many ideas, customs, and intolerance too, cling on unperceived by those who think that they live in days where all things are new. ( Hewlett Johnson, 1940 )
Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.
Benito Mussolini
Mahal...for your edification...fascism is capitalist, and US native American policy was also capitalist, as was Indonesia's invasion of East Timor, you choose not to view them as such but that is your choice, hence propaganda

America is a social democracy, don't believe me look it up. There exists no pure capitalist free market economy today. All countries have some form of differentiated taxation and social programs. Australia is a social democracy just like the U.S. The U.S. has been a social democracy officially ever since FDR and the new deal. Those that call the plans of Obama socialist or communist are misleading, he is a social democrat. Republicans are also social democrats, that is unless they belong to the far-right libertarian part of the party: that want a flat tax on all income and a limited gov't. with no social services. Meaning the tea party candidates this fall want to get rid of Social Security, Welfare, Public Education, Medicare, Widow pensions and so on and so on. I've never heard of mix economy. But you are probably looking for social democracy or democratic socialism(although this is something else altogether).

Friend broaden your education. Communists and Capitalist have joined hands LONG LONG TIME AGO.
Do some reading on, Bosnia, Serbia, Libya, and many other countries, where people are dying (Not like 9/11 bombs), not in hundreds, but, in hundreds of thousands, in Genocide, forced to flee homes, women raped, children murdered.
Than talk to me about who are behind these WORKS OF ART.Don't be to shocked, if it is the capitalist of your own backyard, supplying arms to communist they say they hate. Why?
To put in dummy governments of course. To rule instead, until governments are formed etc. My son is asking me, why am I so worked up? And people have the nerves to criticise Angelina Jolie for doing what ever she can. Sure it is advertised in papers, how else are we idiots to know what is happening to people just outside our doorsteps
Please excuse me! I am rather explicit on subjects that I care about. I can't do much, but what little I can, I do.

USSR: 10 million of it's own people murdered
China: 20 million of it's own people murdered
Vietnam: 1.5 million murdered in the "killing fields"
Cambodia: 2 million murdered by Pol Pot
Can you name a single capitalist nation that ever murdered so many people?
Please! Don't pretend that it happens in both places until you can put up the figures to prove it. Communism kills people, period. The only time capitalists ever have to kill anyone is when we're RESCUING entire populations from fascist and communist tyranny. If we were to leave them alone, the killing would continue, and the capitalists would be safe.

communism is not bad, but the people that have used the dream of equality that communism says it will grant always end up abusing it. It is the dictators that prey on the hopes and dreams of the common man that take the power granted unto them and abuse it.

or vice versa...
then they would "just as bad".....
20 million....and that is just Stalin.
Who knows how many the Chinese have killed.
and is there a firm figure for POL POTS murder spree?

Capitalists don't kill because of disloyalty. If this were true there would be 125,000 dead liberals right now.
