Thread Name: Privitization of Government
Subject: RE: Privitization of Government
Couldn't agree more.
There's a name for this phenomenon: fascism.
Whenever any dares to use this particular f-word in reference to the ongoing corporate takeover of our government, many people get offended and reply that nobody's setting up death camps, etc., ~ as if anyone were being accused of Nazism, which is something else again.
Fascism simply assumes that government should function to serve the interests of the most powerful corporate interests ~ as if they needed any extra help, over and above the substantial economic power they already possess.
