US Fascism on the Rise

    A few months before my 65th birthday I began to get deceptive advertisements from health insurance companies trying to sell me supplemental health insurance. Also I recently found that a private insurance company was involved in distributing medicare funds for healthcare whenever I received healthcare services; getting a cut of the monies all workers as well as myself paid into by Medicare- Medicade taxes being deducted from our paychecks. As an example of what the results of this Corporatization of the US, the CEO of one of these middle men companies between public heathcare funds and actual healthcare providers was paid $18,433,143 in salary, stock and various other compensation. Neither division of the US political duopoly will address this government sanctioned elitist rip off scam.
    A couple of short years later after nearly being assassinated, I felt I had to move for my own safety. After notifying the United States Postal Service of my new address, a few days later, I received a notification of my move in my post box from the USPS with a load of advertisements from private corporations within the official USPS envelope. You would not think this is a very big deal unless you think about it a little deeper. Louis DeJoy was an executive and investor in private companies that compete and subcontract with the USPS; before he donated $1.2 million to the Trump Victory Fund and was then appointed Postmaster General by a Temporary Emergency Committee acting as the USPS Board of Governors with majority of those on the Committee appointed by Trump.
    A quote by Benito Mussolini concisely expresses what I am getting at here,“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power”. Neither major US political party has strayed from this elite privileged class power and wealth grab. Here is a bit more detailed explanation of why corporatizm is synonymous with fascism and why if you are a traditional conservative or liberal you need to get envolved in helping to reverse this: “The 10 pillars of fascism are: ..number one, a mythic past, a great mythic past which the leader harkens back…Number two, propaganda. There’s a certain kind of fascist propaganda where everything is inverted. The news is the fake news. Anti-corruption is corruption….So, three, anti-intellectualism. As Steve Bannon said, it’s emotion—rage gets people to the polls. We got elected on “Lock her up!” and “Build the wall!” Hitler, in Mein Kampf, says you want your propaganda to appeal to the most—to the least educated people…Number four, unreality. You have to smash truth. So, reason gets replaced by conspiracy theories…Hierarchy. In fascist politics, the dominant group is better than everyone else…Victimhood. In fascism, the dominant group are the greatest victims. The men are the greatest victims of encroaching feminism. Whites are the greatest victims of blacks. Germans are the greatest victims of Jews….Law and order. What are they victims of? They’re victims of the out group, who are criminals. What kind of criminals are they? They’re rapists. Sexual anxiety….Pillar nine is Sodom and Gomorrah. The real values come from the heartland. The people in the city are decadent…pillar 10 is ”Arbeit macht frei“—work shall make you free. The out group is lazy. They’re not just criminals; they’re lazy… It’s all about winning.” -Rattusnorvegicus, Chicago Public Library
