Two Words - Fascist Corporatism.
Fascism is derived from Socialism and Socialism is part of the entire class warfare Marxist movement. Obama is a Marxist but he does not follow Stalinist doctrine, hence can accept Fascism as part of the game plan.
Corporatism is the control of the companies by the government. It was used in Italy under Mussolini and Germany under Hitler. There is no difference in what happened in Italy and more closely what happened in Germany than what is happening right here.
From Wikipeida.... (because the author of the post put it best)
1- Corporatism is a system of economic, political, and social organization where corporate groups or interest groups, such as business, ethnic, farmer, labour, military, or patronage groups, are joined together under a common governing jurisdiction to try to achieve societal harmony and promote coordinated development.
2 - Italian Fascism involved a corporatist political system in which economy was collectively managed by employers, workers and state officials by formal mechanisms at national level. This non-elected form of state officializing of every interest into the state was professed to better circumvent the marginalization of singular interests (as would allegedly happen by the unilateral end condition inherent in the democratic voting process). Corporatism would instead better recognize or 'incorporate' every divergent interest as it stands alone into the state organically, according to its supporters, thus being the inspiration behind their use of the term totalitarian, perceivable to them as not meaning a coercive system but described distinctly as without coercion in the 1932
Doctrine of Fascism as thus:
[The state] is not simply a mechanism which limits the sphere of the supposed liberties of the individual... Neither has the Fascist conception of authority anything in common with that of a police ridden State... Far from crushing the individual, the Fascist State multiplies his energies, just as in a regiment a soldier is not diminished but multiplied by the number of his fellow soldiers.
This prospect in Italian fascist corporatism claimed to be the direct heir of Georges Sorel's anarcho-syndicalism, wherein each interest was to form as its own entity with separate organizing parameters according to their own standards, only however within the corporative model of Italian fascism each was supposed to be incorporated through the auspices and organizing ability of a statist construct. This was by their reasoning the only possible way to achieve such a function, i.e. when resolved in the capability of an indissoluble state.

We have in all intent and purpose a part of fascism here in the US. As much as many will think it is a right wing thing, people are ignorant to the fact that the left and right thing have different meanings in Europe and specifically our right is not their right. The really sad thing is that the people who will benefit from all of this are just the politicians and their freinds.
OH and the little dirty secret is people like Andy and doug complain about the last administration being freinds of big business, they are nothing like the democrats who are part of this Corporatist movement. Andy knows what I am talking about, it comes out in his posts but doug ......
