ReplyDeleteThe problem is we use Stalin's definition of fascism. I'm not sure why we do- the Soviet Union is long gone as is Stalin. You can spot when someone uses Stalin's definition as it has absolutely nothing to do with economics. In Europe we are getting a return to the real definitions: FASCISM DEFINED | The Difference between Fascism, Socialism and National Socialism
ReplyDeleteThe definitions we have today, have absolutely nothing to do with reality. Let's remove the propaganda and discover what these terms actually mean. https://mashupmaster.substack.com/p/fascism-defined-the-difference-between
Seems to me you need to do a Cracker barrel reversal with your politics ... and I don't state that from any sense of 'Ooh, look at the Americans, lol' ... I state that because the orange cookie monster you are feeding has tentacles that already reach where I live, thousands of kilometres overseas, and, perhaps like Germany and it's very real shadow over France, et al, nothing I see in the future bodes well for me and mine, even though we are in a foreign country to the USA.
ReplyDeleteThat 4 years term you guys have, the one you all hope is going to see the Orange Ruffy (that's a fish that used to be common in the waters where i live, bloody lovely with chips, but it has been overfished so is now not available, maybe never again) ... where was I ? ... the orange Ruffy, more like Roughie I guess in this case, has three more years to change everything around so that he can't be voted out .. you think the new special task forces' guys will have wonderful consciouses (how do you spell that) and refuse to do anything like overrule the American people ? Think again, it is hard to go against all your friends, your co-workers, so they will, as a team of 25 or more, all fully armed, do whatever they are told. You wanna stand up and say the democratic voting system is being destroyed ? Ha, good luck stopping them dragging you away into what ever version of Alligator Alcatraz has been hatched by then.
What is the solution ?
How would i know, I am no political scientist and I live, as I said, thousands of kilometres (think lots of miles) across the largest body of water on the planet, so the chances of me being some sort of saviour are really remote, plus, remember, I have 5 or 6 cats here that need feeding on a daily basis.
But you will need someone, some special person to 'stand up'... otherwise you are going to spiral down into one of the levels of Hades (it will seem a bit like normal until the train starts to slow ... train, ferry, you get my drift).
I don't really remember JFK, I was nought but a pup when he died.
My mum cried all day, and we lived in England back then, such was the reach of American politics then ... and it hasn't changed much ... maybe China is getting as current changing, but still, the USA is tops.
Maybe you all could learn from Kennedy, find a modern day grassy knoll ? obviously I don't mean for anyone to get hurt, but as a thought process ?
It is not like it would be rare way for a president to end his career, it has happened a few times ... what is it ? Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Kennedy, Orange Roughie ?
Oops, getting ahead of things a bit there.
Pretty sure I wouldn't even be allowed to enter the USA, so there's my alibi.
