A Fascist World

There are a lot of things going on in this world right now which scare most people. So much that it's hard to grasp what is actually happening. Most people have no idea, or they would be incredibly scared; more than they are now. We are on course for a fascist world.

And here's how.

Let's take each issue facing us to day one by one and figure out the different positions. I will start with Health care.

Health insurance is expensive. So much so, that most people can't afford it, or it takes a large chunk of their income. Luckily, most working people are employed by companies who can afford health insurance for its employees. Thereby making the burden on the employee much less than if they had to pay for it themselves.

There is a push right now for "Universal" health care, which is run by the government, ensuring that all citizens of the US have health care coverage. This sounds like a great thing, that a country is rich enough to take care of its citizens. So why would people be opposed to it? Let's figure that out.

First off, if you work for a company that provides health insurance, you don't need the government to provide it. But now you are dependent on your job. Without a job, you lose your insurance. You're on your own. So you need your job for more than just to put food on your table and a roof over your head. You need to stay an employee of a company that has health insurance. If the government gives you health care for free, then you lose an incentive to work for a company. One of their shackles is broken.

In other words, Universal healthcare is a threat to the power and control of corporations. If it is successfully blocked from happening, then it is a sure sign of corporate influence over our government, and so a sign of fascism.

So does that mean that any candidate who pushes for universal healthcare is a fascist? Well no, but if you look at some proposals out there, you can tell which ones take corporate interests to heart, and which ones take human interests above anything else.

I'll post more fascism in our government later...
