Fascist America: Is this election the next turn?

Our Future Blog
by Sara Robinson

10/22/10

In August 2009, I wrote a piece titled ?Fascist America: Are We There Yet?? that sparked much discussion on both the left and right ends of the blogosphere. In it, I argued that ? according to the best scholarship on how fascist regimes emerge ? America was on a path that was running much too close to the fail-safe point beyond which no previous democracy has ever been able to turn back from a full-on fascist state. I also noted that the then-emerging Tea Party had a lot of proto-fascist hallmarks, and that it had the potential to become a clear and present danger to the future of our democracy if it ever got enough traction to start winning elections in a big way...

The Tea Party test case

In These Times
by David Sirota

10/23/10

What is the tea party? Many have tried to answer that question ever since CNBC?s Rick Santelli first launched the backlash with his trading-floor rant against the poor. Democratic operatives, for instance, say the tea party is merely a Republican Party facade. As proof, they point to GOP-linked corporate group?s involvement in tea party events, and cite the absence of tea party deficit and bailout protests during George W. Bush?s presidency. Social scientists, meanwhile, suggest that the tea party is not the entire Republican apparatus, but specifically the extreme conservative edge of the GOP?. For their part, tea party activists brush off these pesky facts with nostalgic paeans about the Constitution and indignant bromides against partisanship...

The Ruling Elite and the Perversion of Scholarship

Chris Hedges, Truthdig: ''Fraternities, sororities and football, along with other outsized athletic programs, have decimated most major American universities. They have inverted the traditional values of scholarship to turn four years of college into a mindless quest for collective euphoria and athletic dominance.''

Gareth Porter, Truthout: "In an interview on the PBS NewsHour last Wednesday, Joe Biden was unwilling to contradict the official narrative of the Iraq war that Gen. David Petraeus and the Bush surge had turned Iraq into a good war after all. That interview serves as a reminder of just how completely the Democratic Party foreign policy elite has adopted that narrative. The Iraq War story line crafted by Petraeus and the new counterinsurgency elite in Washington assures the public that U.S. military power in Iraq brought about the cooperation of the Sunnis in Anbar Province, ended sectarian violence in Baghdad and defeated Iranian-backed Shi'a insurgents. In reality, of course, that's not what happened at all."

By Amy Goodman

The ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States should serve as a moment to reflect on tolerance. It should be a day of peace. Yet the rising anti-Muslim fervor here, together with the continuing U.S. military occupation of Iraq and the escalating war in Afghanistan (and Pakistan), all fuel the belief that the U.S. really is at war with Islam.

The Lost Soul of the United States of America

By Maryam Sakeenah

The United States must stop presenting its warmongering as a result of misguided and ill-advised policies as if it were a clash between 'our' values and 'theirs.' It must get real and face the fact that it is not hated for its values, but for the lack thereof.

Dahr Jamail, Truthout: "If someone broke into your house, pinned down your loved ones and began pouring poison down their throats, would you stop that person? What if someone poured crude oil all over your crops and livestock? Wouldn't you try to stop them from doing it? Pointed questions like these come from a man named Derrick Jensen. They provide a lens through which to view the havoc that corporate capitalism is wreaking on our planet. They are meant to jolt us into the awareness that we are watching life on earth annihilated. They are also meant to challenge us into thinking about what form our resistance to this should take."

Jobless rate rises

For the first time this year, the manufacturing sector lost jobs - down a net total of 27,000 for the month. The auto industry accounted for 22,000 of those lost jobs, the department said. But those losses were largely due to a shift in the timing of the industry s summer shutdowns.
