Nancy Pelosi’s phony attempt at fear of violence from healthcare and other government protesters is just another ploy to regain the initiative in the battle between Classic Liberals ( Conservatives) and the Democrat-Socialists (Progressive/Liberal/Fascists). Ignoring the honest outrage of the American taxpayer is not a winning formula and the Democrat-Socialists will likely pay a heavy price in the 2010 elections.

We face the greatest challenge to individual liberty in the history of the United States. This foe is not a new one and came out of the Marxist movements started in Germany in the mid 19th century. Karl Marx inspired the likes of Lenin, Bismarck and even Adolph Hitler. Hitler’s rise to power in Germany would not have been possible without the conditioning of the German people by a socialist take over of their society. By the time Hitler came to power the German people where used to top down socialism, that being cradle to grave programs that made them compliant and, to use an F.A. Hayek term, “good timber for socialism”.

Woodrow Wilson was schooled in Germany and received his training from teachers who had bought in to the top down Bismarck style of socialism. He was totally enthralled with the idea of a strong all powerful leader commanding the means of production and holding the reins of government. Woodrow Wilson brought his training as a socialist and his ideas for this strong all powerful federal government into his presidency. He became the first Fascist dictator and inspired the Progressives which are his ideological children. He was so influential that he inspired a young Italian communist named Benito Mussolini who became a part of the new communist “heresy” and gave the textbook definition of fascism. The marriage of state and corporate power working together is fascism.

F.A. Hayek in his book “The Road to Serfdom” makes note of the close similarities between Communism and Fascism. He comments that these two ideologies fought each other the hardest because they were competing for the same “timber”, people that gravitated to a socialist ideology. Hayek makes the point that all forms of socialism will, in order to succeed, become totalitarian and oppressive to those who do not want government control of the means of production. Fascism is a brother to Communism and differs very little the doctrine. What makes a political system fascist is a control of the means of capital by the government directly or indirectly through cronyism and collusion between business elites and government officials. The take over does not have to be complete to be considered Fascism. It is also necessary to have a narcissistic leader that has the ability to gain widespread support for his vision and convince the masses to forego their individual liberty for a perceived common good. This common good never materializes and of course is not the goal of Fascism. The idea is to promise the moon to gain control of a society. When the takeover is complete it is nearly impossible for people to undo the monster they have created.

Woodrow Wilson mentored a young assistant secretary of the Navy named Franklin Delano Roosevelt whose New Deal was only the Progressive/Fascist movement. An ardent supporter of FDR’s New Deal was Lyndon Baines Johnson a young senator from Texas. Johnson is considered the father of our modern welfare state since he succeeded in pushing through sweeping large government social program legislation. So we see that this Progressive/Fascist movement has grown over time and in its current state under President Obama has metastasized into a serious challenge to individual liberty and the Constitution of the United States. Johan Goldberg does an excellent job in his book “Liberal Fascism” of explaining the Progressive movement.

The corporate side of the Fascist movement in the United States has been building for quite awhile and has emerged as a serious co-threat due to the willingness of a new fascist administration to use extra-constitutional methods to organize the society that is mutually beneficial for government officials and business elites to the detriment of the American taxpayer.

The situation is complicated by to facts: the globalization of markets and the understanding of business elites that socialism is good for them. A subjugated compliant work force is more easily exploited. This corruption of traditionally a lassie faire style of American corporations stems from forty plus years of doing business with Communist China and gaining first hand knowledge of how profitable slave labor is to their bottom line. China has in effect set an artificially low standard for wages since to complain about pay in China is grounds for firing or even a bullet in the head. Guy Sorman in his book “The Empire of Lies” does an excellent job of explaining the problems with doing business with the Chinese Communists.

There is a path to returning our freedoms and continuing on the path to supporting aspirations of freeing people all around the world. The answer is to keep the Liberal/Progressive/Fascists in this administration in check and vote them out of office. The Democrats must be punished in the 2010 elections and Obama must not be returned to the Whitehouse for a second term. Starting right now we must begin to deal with the corporate arm of fascism that is enslaving us. Simply buy American! If China looses even 1% of its GDP in this down cycle it could destabilize the Communists hold on power and help free an oppressed people. John Robert’s a former advisor in the Reagan Administration speaks to this possibility in his book “Freeing Tibet”.

We are on “The Road To Serfdom” and we need to do a u-turn and get back on the Road To Prosperity and Individual Liberty.
