Well, Hugo. You may actually have a point. However, if you want to talk about overuse of the term "fascist" look at your namesake, Presidente Hugo "airborne" "merd de burro" Chavez. He uses it on anyone who disagrees with him, yet he resembles the definition more closely than most other in today's world.<br> <br> Fascism *is* a type of socalist economic system, so your detractors are right on that side of it. However, it is also a social / political system, and I think that the most critical defining trait is that the powers in a fascist system will do anything & destroy or even kill any one to maintain power. This is combined with the state control of private business.<br> <br> While your Demo-buddies are on the path as potential proto-fascists. This in their experimental take overs of private businesses. In how they have dipped into the realm of authoritarianism with their threats to silence free speech, their continued stuffing of the ballot box and their willingness to trample portions of the Constitution at an unprecedented level. Added this to their staple flouting of the second amendment an their passing of the oh so special AIG Ex post facto--Bill of Attainder (wow-two birds with one stone!) and their political and character assassinations (see McCarthy, Nixon and even "Joe the Plumber."<br> <br> So maybe they are just following the Lucács / Gramsci Marxist playbook, but it is funny how one flawed ideology resembles another -- and how they all end up going down a similar path.
