Fascist America

Fascist America

By Joseph Parish

A glance at our daily newspapers will quickly reveal a lot of comparisons between Hitler’s form of government and President Obama’s prevailing style. In this case it is rightly so that we should see marked similarities in the two styles. With no disrespect meant to either Mr. Obama or to Adolf Hitler, I would like to explain a few simple principles.

As Americans we view the Nazi’s as atrocious animals with no core of decency what so ever. This past German dictatorship has grown to insinuate any form of government which smothers the people’s freedoms and enslaves the masses however this perception may not be entirely true. Historically such a description is certainly valid for Hitler’s post WWII Germany. Many Germans at the time may have violently disagreed with that optimistic view of their leader’s regime. You would be astounded at the number of German citizens who actually loved the Nazi government when it first came to power.

This is certainly not to say that the German people were brutal beasts seeking blood and death among those who may have been different. Not in the least however, to fully understand what is taking shape here, you must understand the backbone of the fascist government itself. Please keep in mind our current administration as we discus the following characteristics.

No fascist government will ever take command of a nation by violent means. They would naturally fail in that endeavor, however they will attempt to take a charismatic leader and gain the desirable power from the endorsement of the public in general. There will be no revolution, no battles fought on the main front or underhanded assassinations accomplished in order to obtain this decisive power.

The fascist leaders can essentially do just about anything they so desires as long as they do not break one golden rule. They must above all else preserve their high popularity level. From that point on it is only a matter of spinning a few well placed campaign strategies to twist and turn the tides of activities in their favor. With this clearly in mind it only stands to reason that Hitler would never directly do evil things to his own people or he would risk losing their support. In fact, those negative actions which he did accomplish were a direct result of the support which the population demanded from him. He merely did what the people wanted him to do in order to maintain his continued popularity.
