" Adolp HItler Fascism in America The " Good German " syndrome " To oppose the policies of a government does not mean you are against the country or the people that the government supposedly represents. Such opposition should be called what it really is: democracy, or democratic dissent, or having a critical perspective about what your leaders are doing. Either we have the right to democratic dissent and criticism of these policies or we all lie down and let the leader, the Fuhrer, do what is best, while we follow uncritically, and obey whatever he commands. That's just what the Germans did with Hitler, and look where it got them. " Michael Parenti, author Books Friendly Fascism - Bertram Gross The new face of power in America " Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of State and corporate power.

" President Franklin Delano Roosevelt - on the threat to democracy by corporate power Trading with the Enemy - Charles Higham The Nazi - American Money Plot 1933-1949 " The tycoons were linked by an ideology: the ideology of Business as Usual.

While aiding the United States' war effort, they also aided Nazi Germany's. " Charles Higham, Trading with the Enemy, 1983, pxiii The Washington Connection & Third World Fascism - Noam Chomsky & Edward Herman " Several of the greatest American corporate leaders were in league with Nazi corporations before and after Pearl Harbor, including I.G. Farben, the colossal Nazi industrial trust that created Auschwitz. " Charles Higham, Trading with the Enemy, 1983 Philosophic Roots of Modern Ideology - Liberalism / Fascism / Nazism " We stand for the maintenance of private property... We shall protect free enterprise as the most expedient, or rather the sole possible economic order. " Adolph Hitler Fascism - Past, Present and Future - W Laqueur " You don't need a totalitarian dictatorship like Hitler's to get by with murder ... you can do it in a democracy as long as the Congress and the people Congress is supposed to represent don't give a damn? " William Shirer, author, 1973 Fascism- a very short introduction - Kevin Passmore " It would be easy for us, if we do not learn to understand the world and appreciate the rights, privileges and duties of all other countries and peoples, to represent in our power the same danger to the world that Fascism did.

COINTELPRO Domestic covert action in US (COINTELPRO) in the 60s " No other democratic country in the world denies as many people - in absolute or proportional terms - the right to vote because of felony convictions. " Human Rights Watch - " World Report 1999, United States " Domestic covert action in US in the 70s " More than I00 countries have now abolished the death penalty in law or practice ...
