If you believe fascism doesn't exist in the United States, think about
informing your boss you have persuaded a group of people at your firm
into joining or starting a "Union."

We do not fear remote and unlikely challenges; we fear immediate and real
threats.

We fear the term fascism because it exists very close to the surface of America's
skin on the subject of worker organization.  We are wise to be afraid.  We are
unwise to ignore the subject.  

Corporatism, or
corporate fascism, is the American form of this disease.  It has
thrived here unchallenged for several decades.  

This is stunning in a country that encourages virtually every other form of civic
organization.  This situation is unusual for a democratic society and speaks to the
virulence of this condition.  America is the only industrialized nation without a
credible labor party.

The notion of organized Labor is so discredited in America that even workers
fight organized labor.

Labor and Labor Unions are so disenfranchised that even the Democratic Party
quietly ignores labor issues.  The Democrats' failure in recent years to fight the
endless rounds of Republican and Corporatist tax cuts represents a betrayal of
the middle class and labor.

Ironically, for a nation that vigorously claims moral underpinnings, the despised
Union is just a group of people, a formation God himself has already blessed.






We are now a country that gives lip service to protecting our children, our
women, our land, our Constitution, and our workers.  We put Corporatists first.










How often must God warn us against putting property before real people?

In America, corporations have more rights than real people.  Corporations are
not only persons in law, they also have the right and the encouragement of
society and government to organize.

In a historical sense, fascism is maybe best understood as an extreme reaction
against socialism and communism; in its early years it was essentially defined
as "extremist anti-communism."

Slavery is the legal fiction that a person is property.
Corporate personhood is the legal fiction
that property is a person.
