RHETORIC vs REALITY
MIXING   CLASS WARFARE and CRONY CAPITALISM                                                                                                                                                                         The WILL to POWER and PROFIT

UNTIE-ing the KNOT of CONFUSION (COLLUSION)

                                                                         a.k.a. “FAT CATS”, LEVIATHAN and the “FORGOTTEN MAN”

from “Liberal Fascism”  by Jonah Goldberg

 

CONFUSION: The “RHETORIC” of “CONFLICT”; the “REALITY” of “COLLUSION”

Jonah Goldberg: “Good medicine, like good economics, depends on discarding UNPROVEN MYTHOLOGY.”

These myths are entwined with one another in a magnificent KNOT of CONFUSION: simultaneously MIXING class warfare  and crony  capitalism

Fascist government “MIXES” public and  private. fascist government MIXES “FREE” and “FAIR” market, placing  a “corporate “stranglehold” of “the system” with an even more powerful state “stranglehold” replacing “private”concentration of power with a  far larger “public” concentration of POWER.

The state rhetorically fights for “the people”  to “PROTECT”  the “free market”, yet colludes with big business to PREVENT a “free market”, SIMULTANEOUSLY protecting the people” from monopolies, using regulatory monopoly to protect “fat cats” from competition.

“FREE” vs “FAIR” MARKETS

Jonah Goldberg: “Liberals foster precisely the sickness they hope to remedy, REINFORCING, NOT REINING IN corporatism.

The fascist state claims to be against the corporate “fat-cats”. 

Instead, the fascist state (the “WILL to POWER”) COLLABORATES and COLLUDES with compliant corporate  “fat-cats”. (the WILL to PROFIT)

Fascist Economics BOTH CREATES MONOPOLIES and DESTROYS “COMPETITION”.

To fight the “ANARCHY” of “The Jungle” (“winner take all”), fascists create a “TYRANNY” of (The Jungle” (picking “winners and losers”)

The fascist state USES big business to further its  own “agenda”. (e.g. “PROFITS” towards “PROGRESS”)

The fascist state gains POWER from popular support and resentment against “the rich” big business works to support government’s political  agenda.

Big business profits and gets “protection” from government collaboration.
