[QUOTE="804brown, post: 911805, member: 29553"] I believe that the govt from 1910 til 1980 was a progressive force to control the power of corporations, not socialistic. They never nationalized/socialized any private bunisness. From 1981 onward the govt has been a regressive force to control labor and workers. I dont agree the state, our govt, is defined as socialistic at all. If anything our present govt is more fascistic in that it socializes the risk and privatizes the profit. In truth I do not fear government per se. I fear a government dominated by the oligarchy of this country. I fear the big boot of the police state. I fear the reactionary culture police state coming into my house and telling me how to live my life. I dont fear a robust proactive govt empowering and protecting everyone equally. I do fear and will fight an ideology of the 1% and their apologists that glorify self-interest and greed and ignore what the common good of other americans . That hierarchic view of society where success is always deserved and lack of success is a moral failure. It is true what you write of the leviathon that govt can become but i am not speaking of soviet russia or fascist germany/italy.(It is ironic how the right in this country actually think we are heading in the soviet russia mode when in truth we seem to be heading the other way). A more common sense government that balances public and private demands such as norway or sweden or germany would be more ideal. What is this darkside stuff about Mr Vader?? [/QUOTE]
