The United States of Fascism

Listed below are some supposed early warning signs of fascism. I don't know who came up with these or when and I don't feel like researching it right now, but they sure as hell sound like fascist traits and I'll be damned if America doesn't fit the bill.


1. Powerful and continuing nationalism. (Check.)
2. Disdain for human rights. (Check.)
3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause. (Check.)
4. Supremacy of the military. (Not yet there in all aspects, but growing.)
5. Rampant sexism. (Check.)
6. Controlled mass media. (Check.)
7. Obsession with national security. (Check.)
8. Religion and government are intertwined. (Check.)
9. Corporate power is protected. (Check.)
10. Labor power is suppressed. (Not violently--yet.)
11. Disdain for intellectuals and the arts. (Check.)
12. Obsession with crime and punishment. (Unless it's the president who commits crimes--check.)
13. Rampant corruptions and cronyism. (Check.)
14. Fraudulent elections. (Check.)
