Ah, good point. I have even seen "The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui". I should have
remembered.
So basically America (and various other Western democracies) currently have fascist
governments - the twist being that this time around, hardly anyone realises the fact!
Not really. Basic to fascism was the idea that a nation was a super-organism and
corporations, individuals, leaders, and the military were a bound together (fasci), each
filling their function in the super-organism, to achieve national glory (mostly by
conquering inferior and backward nations and bringing them fascism).
The U.S. pays lip service to individualism and turned corporations into
indivduals.
