Fascism is a hijacked word. What it means is "ohhhh...some thing I don't like so I need to call it a durty word...racist, pedhophile and hemophilic don'ts seem right so I'll call it FASCIST'
(ahem)
I was taught in economics back in college in the seventies that fascism was an economic system in which industry was privately owned but controlled by the government.
Gee...where have we seen THAT before?
