Obama versus Clinton versus Plutocracy

Reconciling Fascism with Reality, by Pervez Dastoor
What defines a fascist society?
Often times, fascism is subconsciously linked to the grainy black and white pictures of marauding Wermacht and SS troops from the 1940s. However, this shows a mental normalness which is incorrect. While Nazism did have fascist overtones, Nazism is not a form of government. Nazism is political ideology implemented through the use of a fascist government system. It is this system that needs to be understood and not the policy employed through it. This is vital since any form of government – yes, including a democracy – can be operated through a fascist structure. It is not exclusive to a dictatorship. contributed by Tom Feeley, http://informationclearinghouse.info
