That term "Islamo-fascists" that has become so popular...
So, what does it really mean?
"When we think "fascism" we think of a merger between government and big business, we think of deregulation, capitalism (cruel capitalism to be exact) and we think of war profiteering. Nothing like that going on in the Middle East. Oh, but we sure have that going on here in the good old USA. Oh yeah, and when that happens, you can say buh-bye to democracy. You can have a democracy when the playing field is fair, not tilted 89% towards big business, like here. Fascism arises out of failed democracies. "Islamo-fascism" isn't arising out of any democracy."
"In addition to the all important economic and political signs of fascism that must be present, we think of fascist governments as those that poo poo science, the arts, creativity, intellectual pursuits and higher education. Oh wait. That sounds like our government. My bad. Fascists wrap themselves in flags, in religion, in homophobia, in xenophobia, in mysogyny and there is always a bad guy/s for everyone to hate. By golly it sounds like an Orwell novel."
