It's not socialism, it's Participatory Fascism?

Interesting article. I have no "dog in this fight", other than being an American. But I've never looked at where we're headed in this way before...

Not socialism but participatory fascism (http://blog.independent.org/2012/10/30/once-more-with-feeling-our-system-is-not-socialism-but-participatory-fascism/)

Thoughts?

Excellent read.

Unfortunately most people's minds shut down when they see the word "fascism" thinking it means only dead Jews, military parades and a society regimented along military lines without realizing that those were just the surface characteristics of German Fascism and had nothing to do with the real roots of Fascism (which is nothing more than socialism with a thin veneer of capitalism on top to fool the proles).

Interesting. Socialism or fascism what ever you call it is nothing I'm interested in.

Agreed Corporatism at best. Fascism is the merger of corporate and government interest according to Mussolini.
Capitalism is dead in America. The hurt is coming and the central bank is the biggest reason.[Rant1]
