I don't understand all the hoopla... America IS a fascist state. Fascism is not about brown shirts, storm troopers, gas chambers, or book burnings. Fascism is an economic/political model and has thrived in the US since the early 20th century. Every single candidate except RP supports more or less the complete fascist package:

A) The organization of society as a planned economy managed by the State - CHECK

B) A planned consumption economy - CHECK

C) Militarism as an economic weapon - CHECK

D) Imperialism - CHECK

E) A deference to executive power, i.e the presidency/bureaucracy - CHECK
