Giovanni Gentile, the philosopher of fascism and ghostwriter for Mussolini, said of the definition of fascism in the Encyclopedia of Italiana: Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power. This definition may very well fit the GOP ideology: a kind of corporate fascism, where large corporations have the ultimate power; where the politicians spew a hateful, intolerant ideology based on traditional values, on a platform funded by corporate interests, elected by the people to serve those very corporate interests; and deny environmental degradation because it would be unprofitable for the funders to do anything about it, using the anti-intellectual hostility to convince the people that it is nothing more than a left-wing conspiracy.

This election cycle seems to be: Fascists vs. Socialists
What matters in this country? People vs. Business
Since we all have the opportunity to vote, it would seem that the people would win easily but I am always amazed at how the masses are scared in to voting against their own self interest.
