Corporatism, Fascism, There Is No Difference.


    Mussolini stated that it should not be called fascism, it should be called corporatism, as it is the coming together of the state and the corporate, in one body of control. Well it is now global corporatism, (fascism), and it is here, global corporatism or fascism, call it what you will, it is tying the world up in one simple package to suit its greed driven ends. All decisions concerning our society and our environment will be taken behind the closed doors of plush boardrooms, by faceless millionaires and billionaires working to maximise their power and wealth. Is this the tomorrow we want?
This from Watchdog.net:
   The Trans-Pacific Partnership is set to create a virtually permanent corporate rule over the people.
     This is the trade scam NAFTA globalized, a devil's deal that has nothing to do with trade and everything to do with corporate protectionism — of the 29 chapters in the TPP, only FIVE actually cover trade issues!
Lax food safety regulation, unregulated fracking, overseas job shifts, rocketing drug prices, Internet monopolies, slashes to public services to profit Wall Street robbers... these are just some of the effects the TPP's passing will have on our world.

     Don't let voting nations pass this corporate coup d'etat. Call on the US, Canada, Japan and other nations considering the trade deal to back out of the TPP now!

THE GROWTH OF PLUTOCRACY.

 From Inquiring minds: 

         My life in the West taught me the power of the land-grabbers. My experience in the East gave me insight into the power of the banker, The land-grabber cornered the land. The banker corners the money and credit. Both are able through their monopolies to plunder the producers of the product of their toil. The people of the United States are playing with fire. They are experimenting with an unworkable system of social organisation – a system that has been tried repeatedly during the past three or four thousand years, and that has destroyed civilization as often as it has been tried.

          I have watched the Middle West grow from a sparsely settled wilderness, the home of Indians and of buffaloes, to the greatest center of agriculture and of industry in the world. I have watched the public domain slip out of the hands of the people, and into the hands of speculators, of corporations and of monopolies. I have seen the bankers, the trust magnates and the masters of transportation and other forms of monopoly rise from obscurity to their present position of domination in public affairs. I have watched the growth of the plutocracy—the few who rule industry, the Government and the press because they are rich.
