After all, he was a member of the socialist New Party back home in Chi, and apparently he majored in the Marxist Claptrap Department in college (as far as we can tell in the absence of transcripts). It's just that his MO in office is more fascist than "nationalize the means of production" socialist. Admittedly, he's done some of that (cf Government Motors) and is trying to get the entire camel into the tent on Nationalized Health Care, but most of his schtick seems to be of the fascistic, corporatist style.Michael Lonienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935370618605188900.post-62728853579263540882012-08-07T07:08:17.195-04:002012-08-07T07:08:17.195-04:00That's IT!

Crony capitalism, corporatism, lavish payoffs to union bosses and a bit trickling down to the members (if they are willing to act as goons), this is the sort of fascism practiced for a long time in South America, especially Argentina. It is one of the reasons Argentina, which was approaching what we'd now call First World status a century ago, is a pigsty today. We can see a vision of our future there.Michael Lonienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935370618605188900.post-24338160230755024512012-08-06T20:40:52.329-04:002012-08-06T20:40:52.329-04:00The other day something unrelated to Obama reminde...The other day something unrelated to Obama reminded me of Ayn Rand's novella *Anthem,* in which a member of the collective state discovers individual identity. <br /><br />It's available in its entirety (pretty short) here: http://www.noblesoul.com/orc/texts/anthem/complete.html<br /><br />"We strive to be like all our brother men, for all men must be alike. Over the portals of the Palace of the World Council, there are words cut in the marble, which we repeat to ourselves whenever we are tempted:<br /><br /><br /> "We are one in all and all in one.<br /> There are no men but only the great WE,<br /> One, indivisible and forever."<br /><br />We repeat this to ourselves, but it helps us not."<br /><br />(Thoughts 'Julia' will never think.)<br /><br />Let us not just hope but do everything in our power to wake up the Equality 7-2521s of the country NOW.Maricahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856090571383020938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935370618605188900.post-47329913253855633692012-08-06T20:05:11.300-04:002012-08-06T20:05:11.300-04:00Exactly.
