Fascism

In utter frustration over their inability to get rid of the centrist black president now running the US of A, right wingers take to calling him names. Socialist, communist, fascist, etc. But most of those using these terms don't have a clue what they mean - it just seems to them that they are slurs they can use without reverting to racist jargon.

If we look at the word 'fascist', for example, we need to ask ourselves which party is really the party of fascism?

"The first truth is... a democracy is not safe if people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by... any controlling private power." - Franklin D. Roosevelt,
