Re: US On The Road To Fascism?

The polarizing forces of globalization require a fascist solution in the
core, just as they have always required one in the periphery, and for the
same reasons--the anti-"competitive" expense of social democracy which has
historically purchased the alliegence of the working classes of the core.
Precisely because "Globalization" *IS* the equalization of working
conditions on a global scale, then it is inescapable that those coercive
conditions be replicated politically as well.  A by-product of this
coercion is the elimination of the tax-base required to support the
"Welfare State" (=social democracy).  A corollary is the elimination of
state legitimacy, to which the state can only respond by (more) coercion.
It's all quite simple, really.  Yet also terrifying.
