Socialist or National Socialist? Take Your Pick  Email Print
Americans will decide next week whether the next president will
be a socialist or a national socialist. Lest you think I
exaggerate, consider McCain’ campaign theme of "country first"
before everything else — your private life, your job, your
children, your education, your marriage, everything. Ask
yourself how this differs from the philosophy of German fascism,
which preached "the common good comes before the private good"
(see Paul Lensch, Three Years of World Revolution).  Or consider
the fact that McCain supported the Wall Street Plutocrat Bailout
Bill. A defining characteristic of fascism was that all profits
were private, but losses were socialized. And oh yes, military
imperialism (a.k.a., "national greatness conservatism") and a
dictatorial executive were also key features of European
fascism. Recall that McCain promised that if elected
(paraphrasing), "I will order the Secretary of the Treasury to
buy up all of the foreclosed mortgages."
