Is America Fascist?

>General racism and ghettoization of minorities
>Strong military police presence
>General Anti-Socialist nationalism
>Hatred of the word "Liberalism"
>All the Roman symbolism
>Trains run on time
>Constant military buildup and use of easy win wars over already weak countries to build up nationalism
>Power survives and grows by allying with elites to enrich them and prop them up
>Unions and petit-bourgeois organizations complicit to political party

If you read the fascist manifesto and compare it to what's going on fascism would actually be a step up

OP IS A FUCKING WHITE MALE

Virtually every country is fascist nowadays. Those that aren't, are communist.

But most of those things you just said do not describe fascism.

>Constant military buildup and use of easy win wars over already weak countries to build up nationalism
In tired of this meme

All the free nations that DON'T have rocking militaries can only get away with it because the US military protects them.

>>Trains run on time

Nice one, m8. And none of those things have to do with fascism. America is just a market-oriented oligarchy.

America isn't driven by some grandiose national pride or myth, and the idea of manifest destiny has been long dead. America is driven solely by money and profit, and everything we do supports America getting more $$$ by any means possible.

>America isn't driven by some grandiose national pride or myth
I'd argue it does, I mean you look at MLK and the concept of planned and peaceful protest "winning wars" (really does jack shit) the propping up of the founders and the constitution, Lincoln worship.

I mean look how big of a shitfit America had over one guy sitting out the national anthem at a football game

So media and interwebs bitching about something means its fascist?

What actually happened to the guys as far as the state was concerned? A whole heaping bowl of nothing that's what.

This. Most people didn't give a Fuck. Always disregard sports media

Short answer: If we take the Kevin Passmore definition of Fascism, that is to say an elected body which aligns the interests of a nations economic power to the will of the State by force, bribery, or trickery, then yes the USA is fascist. While not entirely necessary to be fascist, the fact that the USA is deeply steeped in Nation-worship and worship of individuals as saintly national deities is of the same nationalist line of thought prevalent in Spain, Italy, and Germany in the 1930's.

I think it's debatable however who has the reigns- the corporations, or the State. At the moment, I will tentatively believe that the State and its elected bodies still wield the majority of the power, but allow themselves to get seduced too easily by corporate interest for private gain. In most modern democracies, politicians are often content in merely being re-elected twice so that they are guaranteed a middle-class government pension, and are already paid very well on their government salary. In the United States however, the cost of campaigning is so ludicrously expensive that politicians often aspire to be apart of the economic elite as well as the political elite. It's a primary reason why so many people hate politicians.
