Conservative/Republicans beware--just another


Posted: Aug 25, 2015

Privatization thus replaces public, government-owned, assets, by privately owned assets, and so it transfers control from publicly elected (government) leaders (who are answerable to everyone at ballot-boxes), to private ones — to private stockholders who decide how those assets will be used — regardless of whether the asset happens to be schools, or hospitals, or land, or natural resources, or roads, or whatever. Anything can be privatized. Anything can be run by an elite, by an ‘owner.’ Fascism tries to maximize that: private ownership of what was formerly public property. The democratically controlled form of capitalism, such as in some northern European countries, has commonly been called “socialism”; and, of course, it’s opposed to all forms of dictatorship, both communist and fascist. Socialism is the democratic form of capitalism. It’s the form of capitalism that serves the public, instead of the aristocracy, at any point where the two have conflicting interests. It subordinates the aristocracy to the public. Fascism instead subordinates the public to the aristocracy, which is the natural tendency (because the “World’s Richest 0.7% Own 13.67 Times as Much as World’s Poorest 68.7%,” and the “World’s Richest 80 People Own Same Amount as World’s Bottom 50%”). http://rinf.com/alt-news/editorials/privatization-is-at-the-core-of-fascism/ ;

You might want to check the real definition of - fascism.

For those who slept through Civics, I'll use the Merriam-Webster definition, and it's anything BUT the privatization of legitimate governmental functions, as you mistakenly imply (where does this stuff come from, anyway?):

"A political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a CENTRALIZED AUTOCRATIC GOVERNMENT, headed by a DICTATORIAL LEADER, SEVERE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL REGIMENTATION AND FORCIBLE SUPPRESSION OF OPPOSITION."

In other words, precisely the opposite of conservatism in the United States - and, might I add, it's actually pretty descriptive of the present administration and those on the left like Clinton and Sanders who aspire to follow and extend it.

Yes, Virginia, you CAN be a liberal fascist, despite the common and inaccurate depiction of fascism as a "conservative" philosophy, which it is not and never has been. Fascism had its origins before Mussolini, but Mussolini is considered its founder, and only someone ignorant of that period of history would ever call Mussolini a conservative capitlist!

I don't know where this misinformation gets a foothold and becomes a meme, but I blame the woefully incompetent public education system, which in its current form is to be blamed entirely on liberals.

Something To Beware Of/privacy IssuesJan 03, 2016
I have been spending the day studying. The issues of privacy and what lawyers call a "reasonable expectation of privacy" came up.

(Her parents were both Italian immigrants and she herself was born in NYC.) Anyway, she paid about $100 and the test told her she was 70% Italian, 20% German, and 10% West Indian. The We ...

As A ConservativeJul 30, 2011
I gotta admit...I like Joe Manchin, democrat from West Virginia.  He truly seems like a guy who wants to help us regular folk.  He has done well in West Virginia and I really liked an interview he gave regarding the Boehner and Reid debt ceiling bills.  He didn't point fingers or blame anyone.  He was kind in his assessment of Reid and Boehner bills and simply said he wanted a fix and not just a Band-Aid. Seems like a really smart guy who really cares.  Wish there w ...

Some Conservative ThoughtsOct 22, 2009
If a conservative doesn’t like a news organization or a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.  If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.  A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.  If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.  If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.  If a ...
