American National Bocialism

It's not that the U.S. Government is an unmitigated fascist empire. It's just that I keep having to look up "fascism" to make the increasingly nuanced distinctions.

Certainly we have um...elections...and uh, constitutional, er, freedoms, and a diverse, well not increasingly diverse, actually the opposite, private economy, and uh no comprehensive ideology of er...censorship, and well, our ambitions of empire are sort of, or were, limited, and well, ok, we definitely have no organized mass genocides. (And that's IMPORTANT, you know.) And we haven't collectivised, within a privately-run capitalist structure, private companies so much as they are collectivising us. So it's ok then.

From Wikipedia:
Fascist movements have historically been composed of small capitalists, low-level bureaucrats, and the middle classes. Fascism also met with great success in rural areas, especially among farmers, peasants, and in the city, the lumpenproletariat. A key feature of fascism is that it uses its mass movement to attack the organizations of the working class - parties of the left and trade unions.
