CEOs Are Funding America’s Dangerous Shift to Fascism

Tuesday, December 17, 2024

The 1986 American Heritage Dictionary defines fascism as:

"fascism (fsh'z'am) n. A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism." We're about to be there.

This is, classically, how fascists work. In fascist states, corporations and wealthy individuals fall all over themselves to gain the favor of the fascist strongman leader or they lose out big.

"When Putin took over Russia, he essentially said to the richest of the Russian oligarchs,

"You can be with me or against me, but there is no middle ground."

Ditto for Hungarian strongman Viktor Orbn (who met with Trump in Florida last week), Turkey's dictator Recep Tayyip Erdoan (who Trump praised this week), and history's fascist strongmen from Tojo, Franco, Hitler, and Mussolini to more recent versions like Pinochet, el-Sisi, and Ceau'escu.

And now America. Soon to be the newest fascist state in the world."

Interesting how fascism sets in right when the 'great wealth transfer' from baby boomers to younger generations is beginning. Corporate America and the wealthy (aka Oligarchs) aren't content to let that money be passed down. They are going to use any and all means necessary to get as much of that 84 trillion over next 20 years as they can, democracy be damned.. if we let them.
