Then there are some so-called “progressives” and Leftists who prefer to argue and intellectually masturbate about whether or not fascism is a reality in this nation. Meanwhile, corporate ‘personhood,’ the odious “Patriot Act,” and the draconian indefinite detention (NDAA) of U.S. citizens without the right to due process (i.e., charge, bail, trial, jury, legal defense, etc.) have become the law of the land.
The “merger of state (i.e., the body politic) and corporate power” is now both official and legal in the United States. In starker terms, this “merger of state and corporate power” means that government/police frame-ups, disappearances, alleged “accidents,” and the mysterious deaths or murders of political dissidents (usually accompanied by some form of government phony ‘plausible deniability’), are all quite legal in this nation. Fascism is irrefutably here, and the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution (which was tenuous at best) is, for all practical purposes, dead and buried. This represents the reality of U.S. president Barack Obama’s fake “hope and change” and the overwhelming capitulation by both Democrat and Republican politicians to the avaricious and relatively tiny U.S. corporate elite. Politically and euphemistically speaking, the ‘chickens have [finally] come home to roost.’ To reiterate: Fascism is irrefutably here.
Thanks to the insatiable greed of the U.S. and global corporate elite, the everyday peoples of this nation and world are experiencing bloody profit-motivated wars, in addition to the horrible economic austerity in their respective home countries. This includes not only the everyday people of so-called ‘Third World’ nations, but also of the United States, Canada, and Europe, etc. For example, the ongoing economic turmoil, political, and social unrest in Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, and elsewhere, are a reflection of the vicious economic austerity measures being taken by the global corporate vultures of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, etc. Economic austerity measures are destroying the economic and social fabric of everyday people in the United States and around the world. This of course is part and parcel of the endless greed on the part of a tiny but powerful elite, both in the U.S. and globally.
Corporatism promotes the subversion of democracy, and when merged with the political state, it dominates and utterly destroys democracy, even as de facto fascism is simultaneously ushered in. Due to the fact that the people of the United States have been kept in a perpetual state of historical distortion and ignorance, they are particularly vulnerable to the subversion of their ‘democracy’ and “cognitive dissonance” in this regard.
